Ohio Woman, 75, Fatally Attacked and Partially Eaten by Neighbor's Pigs

Rebecca Westergaard Rigney was killed on Christmas Day after pigs from a neighbor's property roamed onto her home in Pataskala, Ohio.

Rebecca Westergaard Rigney, 75, was found dead on the front steps of her home on Christmas Day after a welfare check was requested by her family.
Police determined she was attacked by two pigs that had escaped from a neighbor's property and died from extensive bleeding caused by the injuries.
The pigs, described as livestock rather than pets, were quarantined, and no charges have yet been filed against their owner, whose identity has not been disclosed.
The Licking County Coroner's Office ruled her death as accidental, noting that she had prior health conditions and was on blood thinners.
Local authorities are investigating the case, which has raised questions about legal accountability for fatal attacks involving farm animals.
