On 1 November 1825, Chunee accidentally killed one of his keepers, Johann Tietjen, a native of Germany. While being cleaned, he turned too sharply and one of his Tusks embedded in the unfortunate Tietjen's ribs. In a bit of Lewis Carroll-esque jurisprudence, Chunee was fined one shilling by a coroner's jury for this.
