Officials say an 88-year-old Colbert, Ga. man died a week after a goat attacked him outside his home.
Madison County Coroner Michelle Cleveland said Monday that Vestal Davis died Saturday at Athens Regional Medical Center.
A Madison County sheriff's office report says a deputy was dispatched to Davis' home on a call that a man was attacked by his neighbor's goat.
Davis told the deputy that he went outside and a goat charged him and knocked him to the ground repeatedly.
The deputy says the 69-year-old neighbor who owns the goat says it escaped from its pen, but he did not know about the attack.
Cleveland says the district attorney will determine if charges will be filed.
