Elderly woman, 75, killed and eaten by neighbour's pigs in horror Christmas Day attack Police believe an elderly woman found dead at her home on Christmas Day was killed and partially devoured by livestock after discovering a pig had made its way into her home.
The office found she had prior health conditions, and ultimately ruled her death accidental, but the news has rattled people living in Ms Rigney's usually quiet neighbourhood.
Police are now investigating whether the animal was responsible for her death, with a neighbour told to quarantine her own pigs after a further two were found at their home.
The mauled body of Rebecca Westergaard Rigney, 75, was discovered on the steps of her home in Pataskala, rural Ohio, after her niece raised the alarm on December 25 last year.
They found Ms Rigney's legs had been injured - and that a pig had made its way into her home.
