A 19-year-old woman who died after a dog attack in Essex has been named by police as Jamie-Lea Biscoe.<\/p>\n

A 37-year-old man from Dunmow, who was arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control and causing injury resulting in death, has been bailed until July while inquiries continue, Essex police said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The canine, which was a family pet and believed to be a lurcher crossbreed, was seized and tests are under way to formally establish the dog\u2019s breed, the force added.<\/p>\n

Assistant chief constable Stuart Hooper said: \u201cOur thoughts remain with all those who knew and loved Jamie-Lea. Her young life has been so tragically cut short.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur detectives are continuing to work around the clock to establish exactly what happened and specialist officers are continuing to support Jamie-Lea\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unimaginable for her loved ones and friends and, as such, I would ask people to respect their grief and privacy at this extremely difficult time.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur officers remain at the scene and anyone with concerns or information can speak with them there or contact us in the usual way.\u201d<\/p>\n

A post-mortem examination is due to take place on Sunday, police said.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation has been asked to contact Essex police through their website or anonymously through Crimestoppers.<\/p>\n
