Old guys being eaten by their hogs has been a known hazard forever, hopefully that guy was dead when he hit the ground.
More’n a few murder victims have prob’ly been disposed of that way too.
OTOH feeding live people you don’t like to hogs seems to be a thankfully rare event. I think back in Texas history some Politician named Potter did it (he also castrated two guys he suspected of fooling around with his wife).
Not too long ago in Sicily (or Italy) a Mafioso disposed of a rival that way.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
