Veteran big game hunter dies after elephant, felled by gunfire, collapses on him

Derek Hawkins, The Washington Post

Published 2:16 am, Monday, May 22, 2017


A famed South African big game hunter died last week after an elephant he was stalking was shot and fell on him. Theunis Botha died Friday, May 20, 2017, when a fellow hunter shot an elephant that had picked Botha up. The animal collapsed on top of Botha.

Startled, three elephant cows charged the group. Botha opened fire, according to News24, but a fourth elephant rammed him from the side, lifting him with her trunk. One of his fellow hunters then fired a shot. The elephant collapsed on top of Botha, killing him, News24 reported.


Botha's body was taken to Hwange Colliery Hospital. His wife, Carike Botha, is expected to go to Zimbabwe on Monday to identify his body and bring his remains to South Africa for burial, according to News24. In addition to his wife, Botha is survived by five children.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Loose association, of course, but I thought of this:
