re: Wife suing condo complex because a swan killed her husband

He probably inhaled some water and was under distress after falling in the water in the first place. The bird coming after him just made it harder to recover. There was one on those birds at ccl #16, mean as hell and big. I could see it happening easily.

yea I mean, it sounds like he was completely taken by surprise.

Anthony Hensley was tending to the birds — used to keep geese away — from a kayak when one of the birds attacked.

Thrown into the water, he struggled to stay afloat as the swan continued to attack.

I could easily see a swan being able to drown a person if they were completely unprepared. One second you are taking care of the thing meant to drive the swans away and the next you are suddenly in the water with a big arse bird going after you hard. By the time he figured out what the hell was happening it could have been too late to get up to breath. It doesn't take all that much water to kill you.
