Death By Ridiculous, Part 1 - Black Swan


Anthony Hensley used swans to keep geese away from properties around a Chicago pond...until the geese got the upper hand and turned his friends into foes.

An angry swan is being blamed for knocking Hensley out of his kayak, continuing to attack until he drowned.  The swan reportedly continued to chase Hensley after he fell into the water, and by the time rescuers arrived he had drowned.  CSI (Crime Swan Investigators) believe the man had traveled too close to the swan or swan's nesting area, prompting the attack.  Or perhaps the geese paid $500...well, maybe.

Family and friends are puzzled, likely because they never knew how much if a pussy he was. "Maybe he didn't fight back enough when the swan attacked him," said father-in-law George Koutsogiannis. "Maybe he didn't want to hurt the animal. I can't understand how this was possible.".  Hensley was 37,married, and a father of two.
