Preliminary autopsy results show she did not die from any medical condition or from a canine attack Author: Raegan Gibson, Cory McCord, Michelle Choi Published: 4:22 PM CST November 25, 2019 Updated: 7:02 PM CST November 25, 2019
ANAHUAC, Texas — A 59-year-old caretaker found dead Sunday morning outside of a home in Anahuac was attacked and killed by wild hogs according to the autopsy.
The autopsy results showed the cause of death as 'exsanguination due to feral hog assault,' meaning she bled to death.
Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said it's a "very rare incident," and less than 6 of these deaths have been reported in the U.S.
Hawthorne said the family she was caring for have about 10 or 12 acres, and "the feral hogs have taken over some of their family land."
Authorities said the body of Christine Rollins, of Liberty, was found in the front yard of a home in the 4000 block of State Highway 61. Rollins was the caretaker of an elderly couple who lives at the home, authorities said.
When Rollins didn't show up to the home at the normal time, the 84-year-old homeowner went outside and found her body in the yard between her vehicle and the front door, investigators said.
She had multiple injuries to her body, including a head injury consistent with a fall as well as "numerous injuries that appear to be animal-related," according to authorities.
She had been taking care of the family for more than a year according to Hawthorne.

"I want to especially send my condolences to the Rollins family. It's unbelievably tragic," Hawthorne said.
Sheriff says wild hogs have been a problem in the area and a lot of neighbors have called complaining the animals were tearing up their front yards.
The sheriff’s office has even put out traps to see if they can trap one.
The sheriff says wild hogs are dangerous, travel in packs, but they're rampant in Texas. If folks do encounter one, it's best to stay away, and call Texas Parks & Wildlife officials. Also on 12NewsNow.com

Here’s hoping there was some other cause of death, no one deserves to go out that way.
Foul critters, I always go armed in the woods around here, there’s a bunch.

Mayor of Monahans Texas was attacmed and nearly killed years ago by one when he left his gun to go behind some bushes to drop an Obama on a dove hunt.
Free range domestic hogs will come running when someone takes a crap, they eat it.

I had a student who lived in a house abutting a wooded creek bed. They had a Rottweiler chained up in back, hogs would come up looking for dog food. According to her a big boar killed the dog one day and the hogs ate it. All they found was the head attached to a section of vertebrae.

I see your good Governor signed the bill to remove about all restrictions regarding killing the hogs, including no license necessary.
The cost of the hunts still keep me here. If they were less expensive I think many guys would go to TX to kill a bunch of the vermin. However, I hear that all the hunting does little if any good in reducing populations and their destruction.
I wish I could afford to "help".

The cost of the hunts keep the hogs there as well. As long as there is a market to hunt them, they won’t be eradicated no matter how much damage they do.

Good Lord... I've heard that there's even some of 'em around here but I've never seen, nor encountered one anywhere yet.. DNR sez we can shoot 'em on sight w/o some permit.. Mighty white of 'em..

A pet peeve of mine is people saying it is too expensive to hunt hogs. When I take anyone out on my leased properties (paid for by me) I spend around $50. on gas, I have to be on the properties with them to protect my stock and make sure they don't shoot anything they shouldn't. So that means I have to drive 150 miles, stay up all night and drive home another 150 miles. Not to mention maintaining the feeders which hold 240 pounds of corn (also paid for by me) and typically I clean the pigs that are shot. Add to this pigs do not run on a routine, meaning generally they do not come when the feeders throw corn and on any given night they may be somewhere else. For some dickweed to say $125. to $150. for a day hunt is too much shows they are cheap thoughtless jerks.

Out of the kindness of your heart. You should furnish all the amenities and should let them hunt for free. 🙄 Hasbeen
