They killed a crocodile !!

Rodney William Ansel, forty -four years old, was shot dead on Tuesday near Darwin, the capital of the northern territories of Australia. With a well -aimed shot, he struck the police sergeant Glen Hugetson, after which Glen killed Ansel's partner with a response shot.

This news would have nothing to do in the section "Culture" if Rodney Ansel was not the prototype of the world -famous "Dundie nicknamed Crocodile", the hero of two world -famous films.

Rodney was the embodiment of Australian coolness. In 1977, he became famous for two months on a desert island with a gun and two dogs, eating dead sharks and buffalo. There was almost no water on the island, and because to avoid dehydration, he drank the blood of dead animals. Rodney was found by natives who occasionally came to the island. In an interview, he said the famous phrase:

- You can believe me, it was not a problem (not a Big Deal).

He wrote a documentary book about himself and became the hero of the documentary "Break the Beast" ("To Fight The Wild").

- Loneliness did not have a burden, but I lacked women's society. Because in my soul I am a romantic, ”Rodney said.

After the glory that came to him, he continued his former lonely life in the desert areas of Australia. During the advertising tour of his book, Ansel shocked the staff of the five -star hotel, night in his sleeping bag - as used to it. His visit to the big city just inspired the creators of the film "Dundi, nicknamed Crocodile."

Two of the film that became international hits did not bring Ansel money. Moreover, in the early nineties, he was forced to sell his ranch to the Australian Associated Press agency, after he lost a herd of 3,000 goals due to a governmental program to combat the epidemic. Compensation was not paid to him in the proper amount, and in 1992 he was accused of trying to hijeen of another herd and of bodily harm.

Behind the coolest Australian, a bad glory was established.

On Monday, an unknown man started a shootout in the vicinity of Darwin, shooting the index finger to one person and injuring the fragments of the another window of the another glass of the other. The police began to comb the area when Bush, hiding in the thickets of Bush, suddenly opened fire, breaking through the body of Glen Hugetson. His partner shot in response. In the corpse of a barefoot man with two quick -firing guns, the police identified the national Australian hero.

“Perhaps the blame for drugs,” the discouraged police officers say.

But for us, this story serves as another confirmation that the heroes of the films are not so pleasant in life as we would like (by the way, the vote on this topic).
