Falling fish shatters skylight

A friend stopped by Elaine and Gary Deffenbaugh’s home May 25 to find a fish on the dining room table, but not a fish being served for dinner.

The Deffenbaughs, who lives in the 200 block of Gladiolus in Anna Maria, told the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office that while they were out of town they asked a friend to check on their home.

The friend stopped over on May 25 and found a fish on the table, along with a broken skylight above the table.

An MCSO report said it was unclear how the fish fell through the skylight into the dining room.

There was speculation that perhaps a bird dropped the fish.
