“Unfortunately, I have to tell you that she passed away early this morning,” Bridgeport Hospital spokesman John Cappiello said Tuesday afternoon.

Stella Antanantis, of Judith Terrace, was attacked by a dog she had owned for more than eight years on Friday. According to Stratford police reports, Antanantis was found covered in blood with both of her arms badly mauled. A report from WTNH-TV said Antanantis called 911 to report the emergency.

The dog is currently in the custody of Stratford Animal Control and its fate has not yet been decided.
