EARLIMART, Calif. — A Lamont man was killed earlier this week by a chicken.

Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, was stabbed by a knife attached to the leg of a fighting rooster, the Kern County coroner's office said Friday.

The accidental stab wound to Ochoa's calf, as determined by the autopsy, happened Sunday in Earlimart in Tulare County. He was taken to Delano Regional Medical Center, where he died about two hours later.

The coroner didn't specify what killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else.

Even though Kern County handled the autopsy, the Tulare County Sheriff's Department is handling the investigation. It's unknown if a cockfight was underway at the time of the accident.

  1. I love a story that has a happy ending. I hope Jose Luis Ochoa got as much pleasure out of his last two hours as he would have had watching roosters kill each other.
