Wow, what a way to go. Sure hope he had a fatal stroke or heart attack and was gone with the piggies decided to have him for a meal. I hope he wasn't a muslim. I know they are not suppose to consume pork but I am not sure how they about being consumed by pork. I wonder if he was a moochelle obama approved lunch entree?

"He went to ---- and the hogs ate him."

Well, so much for the bacon shortage.

Ship those pigs to Gitmo.

Seems like the most appropriate way of disposing of the Islamic terrorists we have collected there.

Echhhh... # 4... not sure I would want to eat that bacon from those pigs.

Gross.

Alimentary, my Dear Watson. Poor chap has gone to the hogs. If you're going to feed anything weighing 700 lbs. (or thereabouts you'll sadly come to the realization that you are no longer at the top of the food chain.

Attn CSI writers ...

Human scrapple

Good grief

Something is not Kosher here. However, we've all eaten lots of ham and bacon. It's only fair that the pigs get the upper hand and all the other body parts once in a while.

Where is the outcry from PETA toward the pigs?

Best Idea I've heard today #5!

By chance, just happened to see an item on the Internet within the last few weeks, in which someone said that Pigs were very friendly towards humans, and wanted affection, and would follow people around like dogs

However, many years ago a co-worker was a part time pig farmer, told me that pigs will try to get you down and hurt and kill you (and apparently eat you, too) if they can, and that he was very, very careful when he eased into his pigpen with porkers weighing several hundred pounds each.

You want fries with that?

October 7, 1780: the remains of the Tories defeated at the Battle of King's Mountain were said to have been devoured by free-range hogs. Some Carolina folks then wouldn't eat their pleasingly plump pigs.

Th...thaa....tha tha that.......... that's all folks.

Grew up near a farm whose pigs got out regularly, all us kids had it drummed in that they where very dangerous, farmer must have falllen.

Having been raised around hogs I can tell you that they're downright evil, nor are they as sweet and clean as people would have you think. My brothers and I kept stout clubs near the barn door that we used when in dealing with the hogs-saved my bacon, so to speak, on several occasions. This doesn't surprise me at all.
Mrs. Cow

I believe Mrs. Cow, but my college roommate raised hogs to put herself thru school. She said they were clean, friendly, and like pet dogs. I knew I should be leery of something that big.

Some scientist will dig up one of these pigs in 1000 years, see a human footbone, and think he found the missing link.

I've heard of criminals using hungry hogs in a pen to dispose of bodies before. I remember it happened up in the hills around here once.

FTA: " A pathologist who examined the remains was unable to determine a cause of death."

My guess is consumption.

Sometimes you get to eat the pig. Sometimes the pig eats you.

I strongly recommend reading 'Hannibal' by Robert Harris - LOL!

I find this a sad story. Maybe because I once lived on a farm. Maybe because wild hogs almost killed my grandfather as a young boy and he always had a healthy fear of them. And, btw, a "wild" hog is one not in its pen. They are extremely dangerous animals.

Would ldotters be so flippant if they thought the farmer was an ldotter?

#8, if I'm not mistaken, they already used this is as a plot device to get rid of a body.

Anyone remember the scene in the ''Wizard of Oz'' where Dorothy fell into the pigpen and everyone was frantic to get her out? This is why. I tried to explain that to a bunch of city kids in college and they wouldn't believe it.

I agree with #26. That is not a nice way to go, nevermind the smell while looking for his body parts. At 700 pounds they were hogs, not cute pigs.

Why weren't they opened to see which one ate him ? Surely, they don't plan to sell or eat those hogs after this incident.

I am with #26. A little kindness is in order, don 't you think? I too think he must have fallen or had a sudden attack of some sort. I hope he was unaware of it all. A terrible thing for his family.
