Hawaii man dies after being impaled by swordfish

A man has died in Hawaii after apparently being impaled by the bill of a swordfish.

The fishing boat captain spotted the fish swimming in Honokohau harbour on Hawaii island, said a local government office.

He jumped into the water and speared the fish, but the fish then struck him in the chest, said witnesses.

I guess I'm supposed to root for my own species, but the fish should win one occasionally.
