A nineteen-year-old aspiring songwriter and singer, who was attacked by two coyotes on Tuesday, died of her injuries.

Taylor Josephine Stephanie Luciow, who went under the state name Taylor Mitchell, died at the QEII Health Sciences Center in Halifax, Canada after being attacked by the animals Tuesday afternoon.

 The teenager was hiking solo on the Skyline Trial when she was attacked.  She was taken to the hospital in Cheticamp, and then airlifted to Halifax.

The animals were shot and killed by RCMP officers

Coyotes, which are also known as prairie wolves, are found from Central America to the United States and Canada.

Experts say coyote attacks are extremely rare because the animals are usually shy.
