man-cowBelieve it or not. A cow fell through the roof of a small house in southeastern Brazil on Wednesday and dropped eight feet onto a man who was in bed, killing him while narrowly missing his wife.

Caratinga police say Joao Maria de Souza, 45, and his wife were sleeping when the 1.5-ton cow fell through the asbestos roof and on top of him.

According to reports, the cow escaped from a nearby farm located near the victim’s house. It wandered off, grazing in the hills nearby when it wandered onto the man’s roof.

The wife of the victim suffered no injuries.
