Investigators say a 35-year-old California man who died at a hospital on Sunday was killed by a rooster. Jose Luis Ochoa was stabbed by a knife attached to the leg of a fighting rooster, the Kern County coroner’s office said Friday.
Officials said an autopsy determined Ochoa died as a result of a stab wound to the calf, and the death was ruled accidental. The coroner did not specify exactly how the calf wound killed Ochoa, whether it was excessive bleeding, infection or something else.
Investigators said it was not known if a cockfight was under way at the time of the accident
Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, died Sunday at a regional hospital of a cut to a right calf, according to the Kern County Sheriff`s Department.

Ochoa and others initially fled after Tulare County deputies raided the site of the alleged cockfight near the county line. Officers found five dead roosters, but did not initially issue any citations or make any arrests, the newspaper says."
In the United States, cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states. It`s a brutal blood sport between two roosters in a ring called a cockpit.
There is a thriving cockfighting scene in Southern California, because the penalties for engaging in this bloody "sport" are less severe than those in neighboring states.
For the sake of the chickens (the fowl not the cowardly bastards who engage in this criminal enterprise) the penalties must be stiffened.
At the end of almost every cockfighting event, the dead carcasses of roosters silently testify to the cruel and bloody nature of this "sport."
It is poetic justice that this time it was a man who was killed, and not a rooster. When the cops showed up at the cockfighting event Ochoa chickened out and ran , but he later died at a hospital.
God bless the rooster who killed Ochoa, he deserves to live out the rest of his days in a farm.
