PADERBORN, GERMANY Overzealous zookeeper
Friedrich Riesfeldt fed his constipated elephant Stefan
22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of
berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm
finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under 200 pounds
of poop! Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was
attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema
when the relieved beast unloaded on him. "The sheer force
of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr.
Riesfeldt to the ground, where he struck his head on a
rock and lay unconscious as the elephant continued to
evacuate his bowels on top of him" said flabbergasted
Paderborn police Detective Erik Dern. 'With no one there
to help him, he lay under all that dung for At least an hour
before a watchman came along, and during that time he
suffocated. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents;
"crap happens."
