as it would turn out, the dog was playing with a pistol which then accidentally went off. the man was hit and the bullet penetrated some vital organ. he bled to death before paramedics arrived on the scene. later that day, the woman asked her neighbor to take care of her dog for a few days. she was found dead the next morning, having hanged herself.
life sure is stranger than fiction.
