Serves the douchbag right!Bird kills man at cockfight
Man dies after being stabbed by knife attached to rooster's limb at illegal cockfight in California
A man who was at an illegal cockfight in central California died after being stabbed in the leg by a bird which had a knife attached to its leg, officials said.
José Luis Ochoa, 35, of Lamont, California, was declared dead at a hospital about two hours after he was injured in nearby Tulare County on 30 January, the Kern County coroner said.
A postmortem concluded Ochoa died of an accidental "sharp force injury" to his right calf. Sheriff's spokesman Ray Pruitt said it was unclear if a delay in seeking medical attention contributed to his death.
"I have never seen this type of incident," Sgt Martin King, a 24-year veteran of the sheriff's department, told the Bakersfield Californian newspaper.
Ochoa and the other spectators fled when police arrived at the fight, King told the newspaper. Deputies found five dead roosters and other evidence of cockfighting, he said. No arrests were made.
Cockfighting is illegal in the United States. Specially bred roosters are put into a ring and encouraged to fight until one is incapacitated or killed, while spectators gamble on the outcome.
According to court records, Ochoa paid $370 (£230) in fines last year after pleading no contest to one count of owning or training an animal for fighting, according to the newspaper.
Attending or organising a cockfight, or training an animal to participate in one, are all misdemeanours under Californian law, although a second offence is a felony.

What I really want to know is how did he manage to die from a cut in the leg.
Indifference is Bliss
Simply dying from a cut in the leg is easy; all the bird needed to do was snag the femoral artery, IIRC. But that wouldn't explain how he survived for a couple of hours before succumbing.
EDIT: It was an injury to the calf anyway, so I don't think it could have been the femoral artery. Possibly it was just massive blood loss or shock or something. Paging Drs. Strangelove and Guynemer...

Femoral artery. It's how Sean Taylor died. He was shot and it severed it, though.Originally Posted by N35t0r

Two hours isn't enough to develop symptoms of bird flu, let alone die from it.
Compartment syndrome sounds like a similar story--not enough time. Embolism, I don't know enough to say, but what would have caused the clog? Ditto thrombus, I don't see why the blood would clot. Hypovolemic shock (death from blood loss) sounds the most likely of those culprits. Running from a crime scene with a serious wound on one's lower leg would be an excellent way to lose a crap-ton of blood. Or it could have been ordinary shock, I guess.
