Man dies after suspected dog attack at rural property in Sydney suburb

A 23-year-old man has tragically passed away following a suspected dog attack at a rural property in Sydney's Eschol Park suburb. Police were alerted to the discovery of the young man's body on Wednesday, with the scene described as having significant injuries. Authorities have established the site as a crime scene and are conducting an investigation.

Initial inquiries suggest the man may have been attacked by animals prior to his death. The Eschol Park property reportedly housed eight dogs, none of which were registered or microchipped, according to local Sydney radio station 2GB. Campbelltown City detectives have taken charge of the investigation into the man's death, with the inquiry currently ongoing and a report to be prepared for the coroner.
