Husband's world 'fell apart in split second' when wife died after dog attack

A husband has told how his whole world fell apart 'in a split second' after finding his wife dead in bed three weeks after she was attacked by two dogs. On August 17, Marie Stevens was bitten multiple times on her arm by two Rottweilers, the Echo reports.
