Oregon authorities are investigating how a farmer was eaten by his hogs.
Terry Vance Garner, 69, never returned after he set out to feed his animals last Wednesday on his farm near the Oregon coast, the Coos County district attorney said Monday.
A family member found Garner's dentures and pieces of his body in the hog enclosure several hours later, but most of his remains had been consumed, District Attorney Paul Frasier said. Several of the hogs weighed 700 pounds or more.

Hogs are not your friends or pets. They’re food. Period.
It’d take a pack of them to bring down a PO’d 500-700lb boar, but they could do it, though they’d suffer some serious losses and injuries.
All those jokes about Texas A&M are now reversed. I’ve been thinking about pulling my camper over into Oklahoma so I can say I am an OU fan, which is HERESY here.

HE WENT TO SLEEP - THE HOGS ATE HIM
(Stanley Brothers)
chorus: Oh! he went to sleep and the hogs ate ‘im
Hogs ate ‘im, Hogs eat ‘im
He went to sleep and the hogs ate ‘im
Now pa’s gone forever
Forever, Forever, Forever, Forever
Now pa’s gone forever.
He never worked a day in his life
Left that for his lovin’ wife
The way my paw did it was a shame
At harvest time he’d stay in the shade
Find a spot and down he laid
But we all loved ‘im just the same.
He loved to spin big tall yarns
Pa would tell ‘em from dusk to dawn
He would only stop awhile to eat
About that civil war he’d tell
Then let out a rebel yell
Then pa’d get tired and go to sleep.
He watched us work from where he set
He watched so hard he’d work up a sweat
At this my pa was hard to beat
He couldn’t work, he got too fat
He supervised from where he sat
Then pa’d get tired and go to sleep.

I would imagine they did it one bite at time.
(Just kidding. LOL)

I’ve got that on disk! OH WAIT! Mine is GREEN FIRE. No Anne Archer.
well I have a suspicious mind
Except for the dentures and a few bits & pieces left behind, those hogs did a pretty thorough job, on whatever it was.
Here’s the part which threw me:
“A pathologist was unable to identify a cause or manner of death, the newspaper reported. The remains will be examined by a forensic anthropologist at the University of Oregon.”
You might be right. He could still be alive. Could be deer/beef meat instead of human remains. He probably has a set of spare dentures. Dentist records and DNA tests would confirm it, one way of the other. Insurance scam? Who knows for sure, just yet?
