...randomly, as I think about it, I had a roommate who grew up in rural Wisconsin – the kind of area where one could bow-hunt deer in the middle of town – who hated deer with a deep and abiding passion, and found them unbearably creepy. As I recall, one of the reasons they thought this had to do with a childhood sighting of a dear eating some form of carrion, possibly the corpse of another deer.
I mean, none of this is specifically about deer killing people, but in general I'm 100% willing to believe that any wild animal will kill a human if it has the ability and feels provoked into doing so. And then possibly eat the corpse, for good measure. And deer are certainly big and muscular enough to deal some damage, especially to a child.

Which, as it turns out, is not all that uncommon.
