STRANGLED TO DEATH
BRIDGETON, N.J., Dec. 21 (AP). —Leslie Muntz, 21, strangled to death today when a hollow tree, from which he was attempting to smoke out a 'possum, broke off at the base and fell across his neck. The 'possum escaped.
Bummer. It's bad enough that the poor guy died, but he couldn't at least be killed hunting a badass animal like a bear or a mountain lion. No, he got killed going after an animal whose entire tactical repertoire consists of playing dead. And to make matters worse, the possum escaped. He's probably still out there somewhere. Waiting to use a hollow tree to take out some poor unsuspecting dude. Evil marsupial bastard.

Dag...I'm just amused that the story made the paper in NY. Heh.
RT,
It's kind of surprising the stuff that used to make the papers back then.
This made for a perfect Friday getaway read, John. Thanks for this.
le0pard13,
Glad you found it as amusing as I did.
