Mysterious; “I Didn’t Bring My Son Up To Be Killed By A Falling Cow” – Mother Lament

A Man died when a one-and-a-half-ton COW crashed through his roof as he slept with his wife.

The cow plunged through the ceiling on Joao Maria de Souza after clambering on to the top of his home that backs on to a steep hill.

The corrugated roof immediately gave way and fell on to his side of the bed. Mr de Souza, 45, was taken to hospital with a broken leg but died while waiting to be seen by doctors. His mum Maira said: “I didn’t bring my son up to be killed by a falling cow.

“He nearly died when he was two and got meningitis, but I worked hard to buy medicines for him and he survived. “And now he’s lying in his bed and gets crushed to death by a cow. There’s no justice in the world.” Civil police in Caratinga, Brazil, have launched an inquiry into the bizarre death.

Police chief Ivan Lopes Sales said he would be hearing from Mr de Souza’s family and hospital managers in the next 30 days. He added that police officers were also trying to identify the owner of the cow, who could be charged with involuntary manslaughter.
