A Texas sheriff’s deputy was left shaken after a deer that had been declared dead during a routine patrol suddenly reanimated and lunged at him last week. The incident, which occurred in a rural county, prompted emergency responders to investigate whether the animal had been poisoned or suffering from a medical condition that caused it to collapse and then recover. Deputy John Martinez, who was on duty when the deer reappeared, described the moment as “the fright of my life” and urged authorities to keep the public informed as the investigation continues. The case has sparked local concerns about wildlife safety and the potential risks of handling injured or deceased animals.
