A woman died after being found strangled by leads which were being pulled on by two dogs, an inquest heard.
Deborah Mary Roberts, 47, was discovered lying face down in a field with the dog leads around her neck on July 8 after a young girl raised the alarm.
An inquest heard how two men had been working on an address on Southleigh Drive in Garden Village, Wrexham, North Wales, when they were approached by a young girl.
She said her friend was choking and needed help so they went to a grassed area behind the street where they found Mrs Roberts.
Denbighshire County Hall was told Mrs Roberts was lying face down with dog leads around her neck which were being pulled on by two dogs.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Mrs Roberts, a warehouse worker from Rhosddu, Wrexham, was pronounced dead the scene.
John Gittins, senior coroner for North Wales East and Central, said a postmortem examination gave a provisional cause of death as asphyxia due to strangulation.
He said there was no suggestion of suspicious circumstances.
The inquest was adjourned to a date yet to be fixed.
