A farmer has died after he brawled with a pig that bit off his penis and three fingers, it has been reported.

The bizarre incident is said to have occurred in the town of San Lucas Ojitlan, in south-western Mexico.

El Debate, a local publication, claim that farmer Miguel Anaya Pablo, 60, began fighting with his pig following a drunken night out and then died from an infection caused by the wounds he suffered during the brawl.

According to the report, Miguel returned home from a party and began fighting the pig which lived with him in his house.


The pig became aggressive when the farmer provoked it and bit off his penis and three fingers on his right hand in a vicious attack.

Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Miguel died shortly afterwards due to a bacterial infection caused by the bites.

His body is due to undergo an autopsy to find out more about the exact circumstances of his death and forensics tests are also being carried out.

Although the incident has been widely reported in local media, the details have yet to be independently verified and no news sites ran an image of Miguel.
