Dick has killed an elderly woman while collecting eggs at her farm in southern Australia, a doctor said Monday.

Roger Byard, professor of pathology at the University of Adelaide, said in a medical report that the 76-year-old woman went to a poultry farm at her rural farm, when a ferocious cock attacked her and tapped her under her leg, causing her to have bleeding with her veins and falling to the ground.

"It is important to understand the seriousness of varicose veins," he said.

Bayard had recently published a study in the Journal of Forensic Medicine, which focused on the risk of older people with varicose veins.
