Many Guy Ritchie movie references have been made on my facebook friend feed.  Sounds like a terrible way to go :(

Anybody remember Erskine Caldwell's "God's Little Acre'? I seem to recall a scene where somebody got drunk and ended up passed out in the pig trough...until the hogs ate him.

It was also a favorite way in which Al Swearengen and his minions disposed of dead bodies in the HBO series "Deadwood"

In my teen years I worked on a farm that had a cantankerous 700-800 pound boar.  He'd rush us when we had to go into his pen - a task we avoided if at all possible at 17 years old. 

Do I believe a 700 lb aggressive boar could take down a 70 year old man?  Yes, I definitely do.

(And a 700 lb short-sighted angry boar is not as cute as the 40 lb piglets in the SF Gate picture!)

Trent Murphy woulda handled that hog :)

Granted! 

I was no Trent Murphy.

I think there is a scene in Layer Cake where they use pigs to dispose of a corpse.  If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.  Features Daniel Craig (aka James Bond) before he was famous.  It's like Goodfellas, but British and better.
