Man-Eating Hogs?

(Bandon, Oregon) In a widely reported story, a farmer has allegedly been eaten by his hogs.

“For all we know, it was a horrific accident, but it’s so doggone weird that we have to look at all possibilities,” Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier said of 69-year-old Terry Vance Garner’s death.

Garner’s remains were found last Wednesday afternoon in a hog enclosure at his farm off Highway 42S, about two miles east of Bandon.

An unidentified family member who had gone out to look for Garner several hours after he went to feed his animals — which included several hogs that each weighed 700 pounds or more — made the gruesome discovery, Frasier said Monday.

First, the family member found Garner’s dentures on the ground. He then noticed pieces of Garner’s body scattered throughout the enclosure, Frasier said.

While investigators are certain that the hogs consumed most of Garner’s body, they do not know how he died. An investigation is continuing.

Strange.
