NH man looks out window, sees dying moose on lawn

[June 25, 2010]  MERRIMACK, N.H. (AP) -- Peering out his front window, a New Hampshire man got an unwelcome sight -- a dying moose on his lawn.

The 300-pound moose, sitting about 15 feet from the front door of Rob Munroe's house in Merrimack when he woke up Wednesday morning, appeared to be trying to stand up. Munroe called police, who arrived as the animal lay down on her side and died.

The Nashua Telegraph said wildlife officials don't know what killed the moose, which appeared in good physical condition, wasn't bleeding and had no signs of trauma.
