LOUISIANA -- Bobbie Cheveallier, the elderly Grant Parish woman who was mauled Wednesday evening by stray dogs, died Monday evening at Rapides Regional Medical Center.

Grant Parish Sheriff Steve McCain confirmed Cheveallier's death after it has been posted on social media.

Both of the 85-year-old woman's legs had to be amputated above the knees after the attack. A search has been on since then for the stray dogs responsible.

McCain said a total of 15 stray dogs have been captured so that DNA samples can be taken from them.
