Four pit bulls seen being led from the home on Parrish Street, where a woman died.
A 51-year-old woman was found dead inside a home in West Philadelphia's Mantua neighborhood Monday afternoon and had visible dog bites on her body, police said.
The woman was found dead at the home in the 4100 block of Parrish Street and pronounced dead at 12:15 p.m., according to police.
It's unclear if she lived at the home, but police say she was at the property frequently.
Many parts of the investigation are in the early stages. Right now, the Philadelphia Police Department is characterizing the incident as a death investigation. It's unclear how the woman died — if it was an attack — or if her death was caused by something else.
Police said four dogs were removed from the home. Sources said the deceased woman had sustained an unknown number of dog bites.
Family members arrived at the home visibly upset at word of her death. Sources said the woman did have what the family believed to be a good relationship with the dogs. Her family declined to speak with CBS News Philadelphia on camera.

Mount Dukono in North Halmahera, North Maluku, spewed an ash column up to 3,000 meters above the summit on Sunday afternoon at 2:24 p.m. local time.
Sarjan Roboke, an officer of the PGA for Dukono Volcano, said in a press statement that the erupted ash column was white to gray with a thick intensity and tended to move west to northwest.
A series of earthquake tremors was recorded from the volcano, which stands at 1,335 meters above sea level, with a maximum amplitude of 27 and lasting for 4 minutes and 53 seconds.
The current status of the volcano is Level II/Alert.
Roboke called on local residents to avoid a 3-kilometer radius from the peak of the volcano and to wear masks outdoors to protect their respiratory systems from volcanic ash.
A landslide caused by heavy rains after a prolonged drought in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, has flooded dozens of homes, local authorities said.
It swept away a young girl, spurred evacuations and left parts of the city without electricity.
Torrential rain on Saturday caused a river to spill its banks, dislodging mud from a southwestern La Paz neighbourhood where low-slung, shoddily built dwellings dot the hillside.
The torrent of rocks and soil surged down a narrow ravine early on Sunday, wrecking some two dozen homes and flooding another 40, said Juan Carlos Calvimontes, Bolivia's deputy civil defence minister.
