Man Killed by Fighting Rooster

EARLIMART, Calif. — A Lamont man was killed earlier this week by a chicken.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was stabbed by a knife attached to the leg of a fighting rooster, the Kern County coroner's office said Friday.

The accidental stab wound to Ochoa's calf, as determined by the autopsy, happened Sunday in Earlimart in Tulare County. He was taken to Delano Regional Medical Center, where he died about two hours later.

The coroner didn't specify what killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else.

1. "...stabbed by a knife attached to the leg of a fighting rooster?"

I know, I know...it's no laughing matter.

Chickens...delicious AND dangerous, although not necessarily in that order.

4. I find it difficult to feel sympathy for him, if this is what I think it is.

I would have the same level of sympathy for someone killed by a dog trained for dog fights.

"The coroner didn't specify what killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else."

The "something else" could be profound embarrassment for being stabbed by a chicken.
