Overview
- Pam Weaver died in 2007 at her family’s ranch near Mitchell, Australia, after a pet camel knocked her down and crushed her.
- Her daughter reported the roughly 330‑pound, 10‑month‑old camel tried to mate with her, a detail echoed in contemporaneous police accounts.
- Detective Craig Gregory described the behavior as possibly sexual or playful, while camel expert Chris Hill said it was clearly sexual.
- Family reports said the hand‑reared camel had previously straddled a pet goat, and the animal had been given to Weaver as a 60th birthday present.
- Recent retellings emphasize safety and regulatory guidance that camels are unsuitable household pets and may require permits, with no new investigative developments reported.
