Congressman eaten by wild animals!

By GottaLaff

Taegan's Friday night trivia post included this. I couldn't resist:

Rep. Jeremiah Haraldson (R-AL) was the only member of Congress to be killed and eaten by wild animals.

Go here for more trivia, but IMHO, that one was the best ever.

After Haralson’s final bid for Congress, he lived in Louisiana and Arkansas before returning to Selma, Alabama, in 1912. Haralson later wandered through Texas and Oklahoma, finally settling in Colorado, where he became a coal miner. In 1916, he was killed by a wild animal while hunting near Denver. No death certificate was ever filed.³⁴

R.I.P.
