well, not wildlife, but serves the guy right. EARLIMART, Calif. -- Investigators say a 35-year-old California man who died at a hospital on Sunday was killed by a rooster.
Jose Luis Ochoa was stabbed by a knife attached to the leg of a fighting rooster, the Kern County coroner's office said Friday.
Officials said an autopsy determined Ochoa died as a result of a stab wound to the calf, and the death was ruled accidental.
The coroner did not specify exactly how the calf wound killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else.
Investigators said it was not known if a cockfight was under way at the time of the accident.
