Father killed by 'violent chicken': Man died with 'massive bleeding' while whispering 'rooster' after being attacked by aggressive bird at home in Ireland

Jasper Kraus was killed in April 2021 when he was attacked by his chicken...He suffered a deep cut to the back of his leg and could not be saved.

Mr O'Keeffe had just returned home from a night shift at 8am. Before heading to bed, he fed the animals and greeted Mr Kraus. Not long after, the inquest heard, the tenant was woken by the Dutchman shouting 'come quick'.

The lodger performed CPR for 25 minutes on the victim before an ambulance arrived, according to Galway Beo.

Giving evidence, he said blood was coming out of Mr Kraus's leg and that he noticed a large wound in the man's calf and scratches on his other leg.

As he was falling in and out of consciousness, Mr Kraus told his tenant 'rooster', the inquest heard. He eventually lost so much blood that he suffered a heart attack.

Dr Annette Jennings told the inquest in a deposition read out at the hearing that paramedics were attempting to resuscitate Mr Kraus when she arrived at the scene in Killahornia, County Roscommon. He was pronounced dead at 3.24pm.

She said the circumstances around the man's death were unusual on account of the wound being inflicted by a chicken.

What a "fowl" way to go. ;)
 
You don't treat a hemorrhage with CPR. The tenant should have tried pressure on the wound or, in extreme situations, a tourniquet.

Unless he had a "bird brain."
 
Hard to believe that a chicken spur can penetrate a leg deep enough to cut an artery or that the Irish can't figure out how to stop the bleeding long enough to get medica assistance.

He had to finish his whisky first. ;)
 
A cheap racial slur but it's spelled with an "e" whiskey in Ireland.
