The family of a man who died following an XL Bully attack in Warrington have paid tribute to him.
John McColl, 84, sustained serious injuries following the incident which occurred whilst he was walking home on Monday 24 February.
He was taken to hospital but sadly, despite the best efforts of all those involved, he passed away on Sunday 30 March.
Following his death, John’s family said:
“As a family we are absolutely devastated with what has happened to John. He fought hard for the last five weeks but he decided he could not fight any more and passed away on Sunday 30 March at 1.40pm surrounded by family.
“Our dad, grandad and great grandad will always be loved by us all and sadly missed by each and every one of us.
“We would like to thank the emergency services and first aid responders who helped John at the scene, along with the residents of Dallam who also came to his aide and the staff at Aintree and Whiston hospitals for all that they did for him and us as a family.”
