In addition to the bizarre event -- what contributed to his death is the lack of proper medical care:
"Rescuers took Mr de Souza to hospital with a fractured left leg but no other obvious injuries, reporting that he was conscious and talking normally.
Hours later however he died from internal bleeding while still waiting to be seen by doctors, according to his family.
..."But in my view it wasn't the cow that killed our Joao (his brother-in-law said), it was the unacceptable time he spent waiting to be examined." "

The corrugated roof immediately gave way and the one-and-a-half-ton animal fell eight feet onto Mr de Souza's side of the bed. My goodness, what kind of cow was it? That's huge!
My sympathies to Mr. de Souza's family.

Arthur: Now this is your last chance! I've been more than reasonable....
Soldier: (to four other soldiers, standing behind him on the rampart) Fetchez la vache.
Other Soldier: qua?
Soldier: Fetchez la vache!
(the other soldiers are seen leading a cow... mooing noises)
Arthur: (continued) ...if you do not agree to my commands, than I shall--
(Boing! The cow goes flying through the air over the rampart...

No, an actual cow fell from the roof on top of him and killed him!
I could just see St. Peter telling his friends: hey guys, you won’t believe how the guy I just admitted died!
