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.
