A 28-year-old man from the Moscow suburbs died after being mauled by a pack of wild dogs in eastern Moscow, a news report said Tuesday.
The man's body was found early Monday morning under a railway bridge, with "multiple bite wounds on his limbs, face and neck," Interfax reported, citing a source in the police department. Experts determined that the man died of blood loss and hypothermia.
"According to preliminary information, a pack of wild dogs attacked and mauled a passerby to death around 3 a.m. on Monday," the source said.
An investigation into the man's death is currently under way.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
