Alaska – The family of a 70-year-old Alaska man, who died while photographing a moose and her calves, say he died doing what he loved. According to sources, Dale Chorman ventured out on his property last Sunday in search of a mother moose and her calves.
Chorman was with a friend, just a hundred yards from his home, when the mother charged at them through the brush. The men tried to run, but when the friend looked back, Chorman was on the ground, with the moose standing over his body.
By the time help arrived, the moose and her calves were gone, and Chorman had passed away. His body showed no signs of trauma. Chorman’s friend, Tom Kizzia, tells the AP:
“I think the medical examiner’s going to try to figure out exactly what happened, whether it was just single blow in the terrible wrong place or something.”
Chorman’s family does not blame the mother moose, who was protecting her calves, and they say Dale knew the risks he faced while photographing wildlife.
