Brazilian man killed in his bed by falling cow

[LiberalEsto]

My question: How many falling cows is a Brazilian?

From BBC:

A cow has fallen through the roof of a house in south-eastern Brazil killing a man and narrowly missing his wife.

The one-tonne cow was grazing on a hill behind the small house, in the town of Caratinga, when it stepped onto the asbestos roof, which collapsed under its weight.

Joao Maria de Souza, 45, was lying in bed when the animal fell on him.

He was taken to hospital and died the day after, reportedly of internal bleeding.

Mr Souza was conscious and appeared to be in a good condition, but he had to wait too long to be seen by a doctor, relatives said.

A man is dead and you think it laughable?

2. It is sad that his cause of death was too long to wait for a doctor

though I think the actual number of that type of death would be one in a brazilion..

8. Thank you.

I imagine anyone here who suffered a personal tragedy in the family would not want the internet cracking jokes about it.



"He was rescued by Caratinga's fire department and taken to hospital with a fractured leg, several injuries to the chest and abdomen and internal bleeding.

According to his family, the victim cried out for help as he waited hours to receive treatment, and was seen to be urinating blood. He later died in his mother's arms."
