A man is dead after a hunting accident in Kentucky.

According to the Anderson County coroner, it happened Saturday in the south end of the county.

The coroner says it appears 37-year-old Jared Hausfeld was hunting alone when he approached a deer he thought was dead.

The deer made a sudden movement, and Hausfeld accidentally stabbed himself in the leg with a large hunting knife.

The coroner says Hausfeld likely died before family members found him.
