A man from Brazil was killed after a cow fell on him through the roof of his house.

The one-tonne cow was grazing on a hill behind the man's house, in the town of Caratinga, when it stepped on the house's asbestos roof, which broke under its weight, the BBC reported.

45-year-old Joao Maria de Souza was rushed to hospital after the incident and died the day after, reportedly of internal bleeding.

The cow just narrowly missed hitting de Souza's wife.
