An animal rights activist who committed suicide also killed 31 dogs she was looking after in a sanctuary at the same time.

Sandy Lertzman was found dead at her home she called Sandy's Safe Haven For All Animals in Moreland Hills, near Cleveland, Ohio, last week.

Alongside her body, which was found by a friend in a car in a garage attached to the property, were the bodies of the dogs.

The 62-year-old had been looking after animals at the centre for more than 40 years before ending her life.

Police said a suicide note was found inside her house.

Moreland Hills interim police chief Dale Canter said although the car's engine was running when her body was discovered, it was unclear how long she had been dead.

One dog was able to escape by jumping out of the car and was later found by police in the garage.

It is understood the surviving dog is recovering at the home with Ms Lertzman's husband Rick.

According to the website of the organisation she founded, Animal Rescue Foundation, Ms Lertzman also looked after cats, horses, deer, racoons, squirrels, geese, ducks and other birds.

The local paper said the other animals are being cared for by a worker at the foundation.

A statement on her foundation's website said: "We sadly mourn the passing of our founder, Sandy Lertzman.

"Sandy Lertzman, for over 45 years, was a pioneer in animal rescue. She woke every day to help all of god's beautiful creatures.

"Sandy's dogs were all formerly abused dogs that no one wanted or could not be adopted.

"Blind dogs, dogs with severe disabilities, dogs who could not be socialised - all the dogs found her love and compassion

"She obviously feared that upon her death, these abused dogs would be placed in harm's way."
