We found a dead goose in front of our warehouse. It was still
warm. There was no blood (ie, the goose was not shot or bitten).

Its neck was broken and had a scratch mark.

We decided to eat it and cleaned this goose to prepare it. We found
out that some of its intestines were ruptured from the fall.

The goose itself seemed otherwise healthy, no parasites etc. Quickly
cooked its heart and liver and it was really good stuff. The goose
body itself, my guy will cook in his kitchen at his house.

The heart was clearly very young and healhy, the meat of it was soft
after just 15 minutes of boiling. We both decided that it was a young
goose.

I am wondering what could cause such a clearly untimely goose
death. Could it have hit overhead wires?

ERYSIPELAS?

Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is somewhat unique in that it can infect
over 50 animal species and can also infect humans. In the latter case,
the infection usually enters through scratches or puncture wounds and is
considered a safety issue for people working with infected animals.
Human infections can be treated with antibiotics.
