Cockfight Killing: Jose Luis Ochoa Killed By Armed Bird
DELANO, Calif. — A California man attending a cockfight has died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird that had a knife attached to its own limb.
The Kern County coroner says 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he suffered the injury in neighboring Tulare County on Jan. 30.
An autopsy concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf.
Huh.
You can die due to a slash to the calf when poison's not involved? I could see if if Foghorn Leghorn managed to cut your femoral artery or something, but given that people can last more than two hours despite gunshot wounds to the torso that seems like a very unlucky set of circumstances.
And now I have to cover a coworker another day due to a family emergency. I really don't have time for this (though it sucks worse for her, clearly.) I've got a dentist appt Weds and need to get my car in for emissions. Oy.
And now I don't remember my guest security code for the alarm.
I am a nattering nabob of negativity. Sorry to inflict it on y'all.
If a major artery in the leg was slashed, that could cause one to bleed to death within two hours, right?
Plant people: does anyone know what flower (weed?) these are: [link]
The femoral is in the thigh, though, I think.

Points for awesome alliteration, though.
I think mustard, Perkins.
