Abstract

Animal related fatalities are not uncommon, though injuries and deaths due to attack by pigs  have been rarely reported. We report a case of a 3 year old child who wandered away from his home  and was devoured by a pig. The case highlights the importance of maintaining supervision on young  children and to be careful in the presence of pigs.
