this is absolutely incredible
Overzealous zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn,
Germany) fed his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal
laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the
plugged-up pachyderm ; finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200
pounds of poop!
Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the
ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on
him.
"The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr.
Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a rock and lay
unconscious as the elephant continued to evacuate his bowels on top of
him" said flabbergasted Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. ' With
no one there to help him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour
before a watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It
seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves that "Shit
happens!"
