In what may be perfect to help you further understand and gain perspective in just how normal and well your life is going, a British Firefighter was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. Why? Some cows were "spooked" by the responding fire apparatus siren so the cows charged and killed a farmer.
Correct: the cops charged a Firefighter for "causing" that.
Former Farmer Harold Lee, 75, suffered serious head and chest injuries after being stampeded by his own herd, who were apparently scared by the fire apparatus siren and flashing lights. The Former Farmer died in hospital 5 days after the incident in Somerset, South West England, last August. Following a 6 month investigation, police confirmed that a 49-year-old Firefighter from Somerset was arrested this week on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. The Firefighter was bailed until this Friday
.
The farmer's son said he believed the death might have been avoided if the fire crew, who were responding to an emergency, waited until the cows were safely herded off the road before proceeding.
