ITALY – The infamous vet who sparked a backlash after posing with the big game animals he shot online, died after falling over 100 feet while hunting birds in Italy.

Luciano Ponzetto became infamous for his hunting escapades after pictures of him with his trophy kills spread on social media last year.

In an ironic twist, the 55-year-old veterinarian fell to his death this past Saturday doing what caused his notoriety – hunting.

Ponzetto was hunting wild birds for food with friends in Colle delle Oche, just north of Turin, Italy on Saturday when he slipped on ice and plunged into a gorge.

“His body was recovered by helicopter and taken to a local hospital,” an Italian police spokesman told The Sun. “It looks like he slipped and fell when he was out hunting. He died instantly and there was nothing that could be done.”

One Twitter user tweeted a GIF of Simba from the ‘Lion King’ laughing with a hashtag ‘instantkarma’.

“The world is better without you!” another tweeted.
