A Cow-ardly Death
2007 Darwin Award Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin

(19 April 2007, Phnom Penh, Cambodia) Unwanted amorous advaces on a heifer resulted in a man's death at the hooves of the violated bovine. Sounds of a scuffle culminated in the discovery of his naked body lying beneath the frightened family cow. Injuries to the head and genital area were consistent with being kicked to death.

Why did he do it?

The man's divorce had become final 10 days prior to his fateful final fling. In the divorce, and also a previous divorce, his ex-wives cited his insatiable desire as the cause of the dissolution.

Police concluded that the man died in a rape gone wrong. They do not plan to take action against the cow, which appeared to have been acting in self-defense.

Original Submission.
Darwin says, "Hesitantly accepted into the archive. Too common?"

Reader Comments:
"Where's the beef?"
"If he must, then sheep are smaller."
"A different way of 'getting the milk for free.'"
"That man loves his beef."
"cow - boy"
"No bull."
