A 70-year-old man was killed by a cow moose after he tried to take photos of the animal and its newborn calves near his home in southern Alaska on Sunday, authorities said. The man, Dale Chorman, was with a friend when the pair spotted a female moose and her two newborn calves in the city of Homer, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said. “Dale was with another adult male and they were attempting to take photos of two newborn moose calves when the cow moose attacked Dale,” agency spokesperson Austin McDaniel told CNN in an email Tuesday. An initial report says the moose charged the two men and kicked one of them. The other man was not injured, McDaniel said. Chorman’s body was sent to the Alaska State Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. CNN has sought more information from the medical examiner. Chorman’s relatives are now remembering him as a loving father, husband and friend. However, they also are urging people to not blame the moose for his death.
