Ernie Dosio, a 75-year-old millionaire big game hunter from Lodi, California, was tragically trampled to death by a herd of five elephants while on a hunting expedition in Gabon. Dosio, who was participating in a £30,000 hunt for a rare yellow-backed duiker, encountered the elephants unexpectedly, leading to a fatal attack. Despite being an experienced hunter, he was left with only a shotgun against the massive animals, which can weigh nearly 4 tons and run at speeds of 25 mph. Known for his extensive collection of exotic animal trophies and his philanthropic efforts, Dosio was a respected figure in both the US and Africa. His contributions to local charities, particularly for war veterans and underprivileged children, were well recognized. Following his death, the US Embassy in Gabon is facilitating the repatriation of his body to Lodi, where he will be honored with a significant send-off.
