Cow lands in back seat of car after crash
A woman and her daughter ended up with an extra passenger after they hit a pair of cows earlier this week. It happened late on Tuesday night as they were driving down a local street. Tonya Coccia swerved to miss some cows that had wandered out onto the road, but hit two of them. Somehow one of the cows ended up in the back seat of the car. Both Tonya and her daughter suffered minor injuries in the crash and are expected to recover. The first of the two cows had to be put down and the second suffered minor injuries. There's a news video here.

Man saved from suicide attempt dies in struggle
Homicide detectives are investigating the bizarre death of a San Diego man after his suicide attempt turned into a fight with his girlfriend. Police said the altercation was noticed by a man and woman who were pulling up in a vehicle in the neighborhood. The man climbed through a window to stop the assault and put Kevorkian in a carotid restraint, which is sometimes called a sleeper hold.

Man drank himself to death after consuming too much water
An inquest heard yesterday how a 35-year-old man literally drank himself to death after consuming too much water. Shaun McNamara, 35, was found on the floor of his bathroom last September after downing a massive quantity of water. It was initially believed he had suffered a heart attack - but a post-mortem revealed that he had downed so much fluid rapidly that his brain had swollen. This led to his bizarre death from water intoxication - a highly unusual cause which has very few recorded cases and is normally linked to marathon runners drinking too much water after a race.
