A California vineyard owner has died after being crushed by elephants while on a hunting expedition in Africa.

Ernie Dosio, 75, was hunting yellow-backed duikers in Gabon when the deadly April 17 incident occurred.

Dosio, who kept an extensive collection of animal heads in his home, was trampled to death when he and his guide stumbled into five female elephants with a calf in the Lope-Okanda rainforest, the Daily Mail reported.
