View show details

In October 2024 a man in Idaho saw a skunk and his kitten about to rumble. He does what most of us would do, he stepped in, grabbed his cat but in the process the skunk scratched him.He doesn't think much of it. It's a scratch. He doesn't seek treatment because it’s just a scratch. Weeks later, he collapses and dies from what appears to be cardiac arrest. However his cause of death would be called into question only after his organs were donated.
