Bigfoot prank claims man's life

BY MyNorthwest.com  on August 27, 2012 @ 6:05 pm (Updated: 7:21 pm - 8/27/12 )

An attempt at a "Bigfoot" hoax apparently cost the joker his life in Montana.

The Montana Highway Patrol said 44-year old Randy Tenley dressed up in a Bigfoot suit when he was hit by a car. The driver said she couldn't get out of the way in time; he was then hit by another car and killed.

Tenley's friends say he was wearing the suit to generate Bigfoot sighting reports. Investigators are waiting to see if tests show Tenley had been drinking.

    It is refreshing to see the authorities doing their due diligence in checking to see that not the drivers of the cars have been drinking, but to make sure that the pedestrian struck by the vehicles was drinking. I guess it goes to show you that all Bigfoot sightings do have some kind of mind-altering substances involved somewhere along the chain of events.

    We all want to die with some level of dignity. This guy will be remembered for being mowed down by a car while dressed up in a bigfoot suit.
