Farmer is EATEN by his pigs after suffering heart attack as he worked on his farm in Poland

The 71-year-old, who has been named in local media as 'Mr Krzysztof', had gone to collect water from a well on his farm in the village of Osiek, southwest Poland.

He then collapsed and the 12 Hungarian Mangalica pigs devoured him.

His remains were found by a neighbour who had popped round after not seeing him since New Year's Eve.

When the neighbour arrived he found a pile of bones and skull fragments.

Prosecutor spokesman Magdalena Serafin told local media: 

A man's body was found by a neighbour who informed the emergency services.

The man was last seen on December 31 when he went to get water from his well, where the corpse was found.
She added: It seems the pigs ate him.

According to neighbours, Mr Krzysztof had a drink problem and may have fallen asleep whilst trying to get water from the well.

Prosecutors say he may have also suffered a heart attack.

One neighbour said:

He forgot to give the pigs food and probably fell asleep.

These pigs are gigantic, they run all over the property, it wouldn't have been difficult for them to get him.
