Authorities are investigating how a farmer in the US state of Oregon was devoured by his pigs.
Terry Vance Garner, 70, went to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm by the coast, but never returned.
His dentures and pieces of his body were found by a family member in the pig enclosure, but the rest of his remains had been consumed.
The Coos County district attorney's office said that one of the animals had previously been aggressive with Garner.
But investigators have not ruled out the possibility that the farmer could have suffered a medical emergency, such as a heart attack.
The animals are estimated by the authorities to weigh 700lb (320kg).

No wonder they ate him, they would be hungry if they hadn't been fed for 4 days. Poor piggies!

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase...."to go the whole hog"!

You're right Joanne we shouldn't laugh..... but I couldn't help it either, even though it's put me off pork chops for a day.
