Overzealous zookeeper Joe Mills 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 fly -- and suffocated
the keeper under 200 pounds of poop!
Investigators say ill-fated Mills, 46, was attempting to give the ailing
elephant an olive-oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded on him like a
dump truck full of mud. "The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected
defecation knocked Mr.. Mills 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 Washington, DC 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 that happen.
