She also saw blood leading to the chicken house, according toThe Irish Examiner. After noticing blood in a chicken’s claws, she determined the chicken who had attacked her father was the same one who once attacked her daughter, she said.
O’Keeffe also testified that he worked the late shift the night before and returned home around 8 a.m. local time. Shortly after feeding the animals and going to bed, he heard Kraus tell him to “come quick.”
O’Keeffe said he saw a gash on Kraus' calf along with other injuries. He called for help and was instructed on how to perform CPR for 25 minutes before paramedics arrived. He said Kraus continued to whisper the word “rooster” as he lost consciousness multiple times.
Dr. Annette Jennings shed more light on the incident and said during the hearing that when she got to Kraus' home, paramedics were trying to revive him.
Dr. Ramadan Shatwan, who performed the autopsy, said at the hearing that Kraus' face and his legs had blood on them; however, he didn’t have any cuts on his face. His cause of death was determined as lethal cardiac arrhythmia via severe coronary atheroma and cardiomegaly. Coroner Brian O’Connor later confirmed the victim’s cause of death, recording a verdict of misadventure, perThe Irish Examiner.
