(November 27, 2008)--Authorities are awaiting the results of an autopsy ordered in the death of a Texas man who slipped and fell on a stake while refilling a deer feeder in the back of his truck.

Victoria County Sheriff's officials Ashley Lehmann, 35, of Spring died after he was impaled on a stake used to support the feeder.

Another hunter found Lehmann dead at about 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Justice of the Peace Henry Welfel ruled Lehmann's death an accident, but an investigation is ongoing.

The autopsy will be conducted at the Travis County Medical Examiner's Office to determine the exact cause of death.

The results could take up to a month.

I wonder if it hurt like how deer feels when they get an arrow shot into their innocent sentient bodies?

As a cousin of the deceased I am appalled by the comments posted. Ashley was the nicest most fun loving person and he does not deserve to be ridiculed in death. I do not hunt however do not judge those that do so legally. In his death, his family holds an annual golf tournament to raise thousands of dollars for various charities including multiple sclerosis and the American Diabetes Association. It is not up to us to judge others as we are not God. I would appreciate you honoring my request to withhold your ignorant uneducated personal opinions.
