37-Year-Old Nashua Man Dies After Suffering Wounds From The Family Dog

NASHUA, NH - A 37-year-old Nashua man has died from injuries sustained when his dog bit him several times after the man had a medical incident.

Nashua Fire Rescue, AMR, and Nashua Police responded to Burgundy Drive for a man who was unresponsive after being bitten by a dog.

CPR was performed on the victim for nearly 20 minutes, and a pulse was established. He was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital and then flown by Boston MedFlight to Lahey Hospital in Burlington.

The victim’s mother, Pamela, contacted Patch and said that her son, Tyler Richard Moen-Lisk, passed away on Sunday at 12:25 AM at Lahey Hospital.

"Tyler had epilepsy and suffered a seizure, which prompted the family dog to attack. Due to the long period of work by the valiant First Responders, Ty’s pulse was restored, and he was air flighted to the closest Trauma Level 1 facility."

She commented, “ I have been reading the comments on finding people are so quick to be ignorantly cruel. Ty was well-versed with dogs; he had his beloved service dog, Rascal, with him for 13 years."

"Pretzel, the family dog that attacked, was a good family dog. Tyler’s seizures could be very violent, and Pretzel had never witnessed one before.”

Nashua Police were at the scene after the incident and interviewed witnesses and family members as part of the investigation. NPD Sgt John Cinelli said that the dog involved is at the humane society, and did not specify the breed of dog.
