News in Brief: Woman Dies Rescuing Dead Chicken

Last weekend, a 63 year-old Swedish woman ended up offing herself when she tried to fish a dead hen out of a well. Apparently, the chicken had been trapped at the bottom of a dry shaft for some time, and eventually starved to death. The elderly lady felt the need to "rescue" the carcass, for some reason unknown, and slipped on the rim, falling in herself. Her body was later found by her shocked husband.

Medical examiners say she died from the fall.

Which just goes to show, when you go fishing for feathered foul, you're liable to fail.
