An elderly woman was killed after being attacked by an "aggressive rooster" while collecting eggs on her rural property in South Australia, a pathology expert has revealed.
Key points:
Details of the death have been revealed by an Adelaide pathology expert
He says she was pecked in the lower leg by a rooster while collecting eggs
He has sounded out how dangerous varicose veins can be for the elderly
The woman's death was studied by University of Adelaide Professor of Pathology Roger Byard, who said researchers hoped to prevent similar deaths in the future by bringing the details to light.
Professor Byard said the woman was collecting eggs from her chicken coop on her rural property in South Australia when the rooster pecked her lower left leg, causing her to haemorrhage and collapse.
An autopsy later revealed two small lacerations on her lower left leg, with her death the result of bleeding varicose veins.
"[This case] made us realise how vulnerable the elderly are, [varicose veins] are very easy to damage.

So who's going to come snuff that Rooster? He looks like he can hold his own.

I guess we need common sense rooster control

That is a French Marans Black Copper rooster. I have five of them.

Cock kills should have been the headline

My grandmother would have whacked that bitch in the head and killed him before he got close enough to her to cause harm. One backhand with the egg collecting bowl.

I still remember octogenarian men beating the living daylights out of proper cocks (roosters) with their canes, and the damn things waking up and getting back at it, half an hour later!

Australia is where spiders are as big as small dogs, so I'm guessing this was a foghorn leghorn size rooster.

How much did he make off this study? Motto must have been if we can prevent one cock from killing a woman this year we will have succeeded in our mission statement.
