"Abattoir worker crushed to death by cow carcass"

Dearieme alerts us to a posthumous animal attack story in The Daily Mail. There are absolutely no details in the article at all, so we'll have to take it at face value.

Can we at least presume that the accused was dead at the time of the incident?

ID, yes.

AC1, why are you so against people's right to protest? I'll support any protest, even if I don't agree with them, e.g. public sector workers.

The Telegraph appears to confirm it was a cow,
Although the comedy cow photo is a tad insensitive

PC, more than a tad.

R, that would be hilarious if the whole story weren't so sad.
