A 67-year-old British ex-pat died at the Hospital de la Fe in Valencia, Spain as she was severely injured after a dog attack.
According to local reports, the dog which was a pit bull had been rescued by the woman from the countryside a few days earlier, when she found him abandoned.
She had then taken the dog to her house in the province of Macastre, according to a statement by officials cited in Heraldo.
Dynamic patterns of glowing green, pink and purple have been spotted by stargazers as far south as Kent and Cornwall.
The natural light display, also known as an aurora, is typically seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic.
It is formed by a solar flare erupting on the Sun, which releases electrically charged particles that collide with gas molecules in Earth's upper atmosphere.
The interaction emits green and red colours over our poles, meaning in the UK the Northern Lights are often only visible in Scotland and parts of northern England.

Thousands of residents in the Lake Arrowhead area were snowed in this weekend due to the unprecedented storm that battered Southern California's mountain communities.
Many residents were trapped by the deep layer of snow and ice for upwards of 24 hours.
Some called it the biggest storm in decades with communities getting up to 6 feet of snow.
Snow plows were slowly working to clear the main roads Sunday morning while working their way to residential areas, forcing some residents to get creative and wade through the deep layer of snow with skies.
"This is the most magnificent storm in the 31 years that I've been here," said Ginny Dunn. "I have never seen North Bay this snowy and untraveled."
Two backcountry skiers who had gone missing Saturday in Southern Colorado were found buried under the snow on Sunday after rescue teams used cellphone records and followed ski tracks to locate their bodies, the authorities said.
The skiers, both men, were reported missing just after 9 p.m. on Saturday and their bodies were found under several feet of snow by 4 a.m. on Sunday, the Colorado Search & Rescue Association said in a statement. They were south of the Vallecito Reservoir, a recreation area about 20 miles northeast of Durango, Colo., that is part of the San Juan National Forest and is close to the border between Colorado and New Mexico.
The two skiers, whose identities had not been released by Sunday night, left for the outing at about 7 a.m. on Saturday and were expected to return at noon the same day.
The La Plata County Sheriff's Office located a truck that the skiers had been driving on the southern end of the lake, and ground and helicopter crews continued the search, the statement from the rescue group said.

That's why one Casper woman decided to get some video evidence of just how crazy the wind in Wyoming really is.
