Eddie Cahill, was reportedly killed by his eight-year-old dog, Fat Boy.
The 40-year-old was found at home by his wife Bianca Rodriguez., she had been spending the day with her family but returned home around 5pm.
She found the animal with blood in its mouth and her husband’s body lying on the living room floor covered in bites.
Animal control officers were called and the dog had to be tasered to get it under control.
The family say the death was a freak accident, adding that Fat Boy had been given bones for Christmas and Cahill may have been "playing keep away" with the animal.
Police said the officer who attended the scene in Indiana wrote Cahill had been previously told by his wife to have the dog destroyed because it was violent and unpredictable.
However, Rodriguez denied this and said the family had never before had problems with the dog.
She said: "They were playful dogs.
"One slept with the girls and the other slept with me and my husband.
"I don't want people to think bad of pit bulls. It was a freak accident. He loved the dogs.”
