Geese can be hell on legs! Pure evil things if they get pissed off. They will bite and keep attacking. Evil things! They're pretty from afar. I wouldn't mess with a swan. It would kick my ass!
Thats been my experience with swans which makes me think there was something seriously wrong with this bird for the woman to handle it in such a manner.

Nope, that's pretty much how you grab a swan or a goose coming at you. Right behind the head as it strikes at you is about the only method to get it under control, but as you notice from the further pictures, she didn't do much more than grab the head. Which is why she probably got some big bruises from the swan. It might have bit her too after it got loose.
In any case, any 'news' article that claimed a swan died from being pulled out of the water needs to be put in the absurd pile.
Yes, another one died because someone thought it would be funny to remove it from it's natural habitat where it can breath freely!
