Earlimart, CA — Authorities have identified the man they believe was fatally stabbed by a fighting cock late last month as 35-year-old Jose Luis Ochoa.
The details are a bit sketchy, but here’s what I’ve learned so far:
On January 30th, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office received a report from an anonymous tipster about an illegal cockfight that was under way in a field in Earlimart. When deputies arrived on scene and started rufflin’ feathers, all hell broke loose – people and poultry both scrambled to get away. In the midst of this uproar, Ochoa somehow suffered a severe cut to the calf from a blade attached to one of the cocks.
The cock in question responded to the deputies inquiries with an emphatic “BWAAK!” before pointing the finger at another fiendish fowl still at the scene. Ha! Just kidding….roosters don’t have fingers, silly.
Ochoa was transported to the Delano Regional Medical Center where he died a couple hours later. Authorities said this is the first time they have seen a human die as the result of a cockfight.
“Number one, the sport is illegal in the state of California,” said Sgt. Martin King. “As far as the dangers, this was just an unfortunate freak accident. I really can’t compare it to anything or say anything else because that’s basically all that it is.”
Though the coroner didn’t specify what killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else, the case is considered closed. ”There are no outstanding suspects other than the one that it is deceased,” said King. “We are unaware of who was in attendance at the cockfights.”
I’m talon ya, Demonites…you just can’t make this shit up.
