Bull attacks, kills man on Pennsylvania farm
JACKSON CENTER, Pennsylvania — A 51-year-old man was killed when he was attacked by a bull in a pasture on his farm in western Pennsylvania, reports say.
Mercer County Coroner John Libonati tells the Sharon Herald the death of Richard “Rick” Joy on April 23 “really is just a tragic incident.”
“He would have been working on his farm just like any other day when somehow the bull got angry and attacked him,” Libonati tells the Herald.
WKBN Channel 27 reports the coroner ruled that Joy died of blunt force trauma. He reportedly died moments after emergency workers arrived at his farm.
The Herald reports Joy was a forklift operator and also was a U.S. Army veteran who served during the Gulf War.
Jackson Center is about 100 miles southeast of Cleveland.
President Trump is visiting the Lehigh Valley next week.
Mr. Trump will speak at Mack Trucks in Macungie, Pennsylvania, Tuesday at 2 p.m. Macungie is roughly 10 miles from Allentown.
Mack Trucks is a 1.7 million square-foot facility in Macungie that assembles heavy-duty trucks for North American and export markets, according to its website.
“Mack Trucks are a symbol of America’s manufacturing strength,” Rep. Dan Meuser said in a Facebook post about Mr. Trump’s upcoming visit to Pennsylvania. “Their Lehigh Valley operations are a pillar of the local economy, employing Pennsylvania workers and driving the nation’s trucking industry.”
In the lead-up to the 2024 election, Mr. Trump visited Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, multiple times. He’s also visitied during his second term.
In December 2025, Mr. Trump said in a speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, that he was “crushing” inflation and called affordability concerns a “Democratic hoax.”
One week later, Vice President JD Vance aimed to calm the affordability concerns at a Uline facility in Alburtis, about 13 miles southwest of Allentown.
Tickets are available for Mr. Trump’s visit to Macungie next week on a first-come, first-serve basis.
