Police fear missing farmer was eaten by his own pigs

A MISSING farmer may have been eaten by his own pigs following the grisly discovery of human bones on the absent agriculturist’s estate.
According to a report from Polish news outlet Gazeta Wroclawska, detectives fear the man, who was in his 70s, died at some point between New Year and January 8.
Their assumption follows the discovery of several human bones and skull fragments on the farm estate in Lubin, Poland, where his pigs roam freely around.
Lubin District Prosecutor Magdalena Serafin told the news outlet that that man was last seen alive on December 31 at his farm, located some 260 miles west of Warsaw.
Though purely speculative, it is thought that the man suffered a heart attack or fall, leading to his death.
His remains were then consumed by the animals, who would have been left without food as a result of his death.
The farmer was living alone at the time of his disappearance.
His absence was only noted when a neighbour discovered bones while fetching water from a well located near to where the farmer lived.
The bones are now being tested by experts to determine whether or not they belong to the missing agriculturalist.
The story echoes that of another reported in Russia last February where a 56-year-old woman suffered an epileptic seizure on her farm causing her to fall into her pig pen.
According to local media reports [Newstes] the animals “completely ate the woman’s face, shoulders and ears”.
She died of severe blood loss, with her remains only discovered a day later by her husband, who had gone to bed early the previous evening after complaining of feeling unwell.

Had a neighbor when I was a youngster, died in the pen, pigs ate part of him by the time he was found.

They're hogs. Omnivores to the extreme.

happened here too about 20 yr ago,, his daughter found his ribcage in the drylot pen 2 days after Christmas,,

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.

I can believe it after driving up on a pen full of pigs I’ve caught.

This happened up in Llano county when I was a kid. Can’t remember the guys name. All they found of him was his feed bucket!

Spare the pig from Charlotte’s web and this is the thanks we get?

Yep,

I believe that one. Not feeling well, sure thing. Epileptic seizure, ah huh, right.

Honest officer, I went to bed early. She must have gone out to feed the pigs in the dark...................while I was asleep. We were getting along just fine, why do you ask?



Geno

Domestic pigs? no way.

Is this sarcasm?

The American Yorkshires that I've raised are completely tame. They will follow you anywhere talking all the time.

Just waiting for you to fall?

Lie down quietly among them for some time, then get back to us. Oh, and be sure to have someone there with a firearm just in case 🙂

i got some real nice swamp land for sale > great to vacation at with your domestic pigs

Any pig will eat anything thing that is dead, or incapacitated. Anything.

Most domestic pigs are very tame. The pigs that are raised by the sows generally behave better. I would imagine that pigs that you raise would go crazy at the sound of a zipper being pulled down.

Pot bellied pigs were big here as pets for a while.

My neighbor had one when we moved in here 15 years ago. One day I was out front and heard lotsa fussin over there...their daughter was out on the front porch raisin hell at their "dog" and kicking on it to get it to comply with her directives. I couldn't see it that well but wondered what in hell kind of dog they had...found out later it was a pot-bellied pig. They loved that pig.
