An Ohio woman was found dead on her porch on Christmas and her neighbor’s two pigs were likely involved in the “shocking” incident.
Rebecca Westergaard Rigney, 75, bled to death after she sustained extensive injuries to her legs after an attack by livestock animals.
An officer found Rigney deceased while conducting a welfare check on her on Dec. 25 after she failed to attend a holiday celebration.
The officer reported he saw a large pig access the porch while he secured the scene.
Investigators said the woman’s neighbor owned at least two pigs. The animals have since been placed into quarantine.
“It was pretty crazy, wild because there’s not just wild pigs roaming. I’ve never seen pigs except for the market down the street so…very confusing,” a resident said.
“I was shocked just to hear that two pigs had possibly killed a woman. It was a little shocking,” a delivery worker added.
