A man from Argentina was killed in Namibia on Saturday while trying to hunt an elephant. He was trampled to death.
The hunter, identified as 46-year-old Jose Monzalvez, was killed on Aug. 12 inside a private wildlife area, according to the Namibia Press Agency. The incident occurred 43 miles northwest of a small town called Kalkfeld, the Independent reports.
The hunter, who reportedly worked at an oil company, was with another Argentine and three other Namibians when he got trampled. One of the elephants supposedly saw the group of hunters from a distance and started running toward them.
The agency says the elephants charged before the group had time to set up.
