Man found at Albertville mobile home park died as result of ‘dog mauling’ – WHNT.com
In December 2024, a tragic incident occurred at a mobile home park in Albertville, Alabama, when 40-year-old Francisco Batz-Lux was found deceased outside his residence. The Marshall County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene at 100 Greenwood Drive on December 22, 2024, and identified Batz-Lux as the victim. Evidence at the scene, along with visible trauma to the body, prompted investigators to consult the Alabama Department of Forensic Science for an autopsy. The autopsy results confirmed that Batz-Lux’s death was accidental and resulted from a dog mauling. The Albertville Police Department is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident. (whnt.com)
This incident is part of a concerning trend in the region, as it marks the fourth fatal dog mauling in north Alabama within the year. Earlier in June 2024, 83-year-old Willard Norton was killed in Lawrence County after being attacked by dogs. Following that tragedy, community members and Norton’s family advocated for stricter enforcement of animal control laws to prevent future attacks. (whnt.com)
