A farmer in Poland who has not been seen since New Year’s Eve is feared dead after human remains were found on the missing man’s property.

Reports in Polish media say bones were found by a neighbour in the town of Osiek eight days after his disappearance and it’s possible the body was eaten by his own pigs, according to local reports.

The neighbour was getting water from his well when he made the grisly discovery and contacted local law enforcement.

“We do not know the exact date, but in the period between December 31 and January 8 the victim was eaten by pigs,” Lubin District Prosecutor Magdalena Serafin told Gazeta Wroclawska, according to a translation by Fox News.

Investigators say the 72-year-old farmer possibly died of a heart attack or just passed out, and was then eaten by pigs that were roaming around on the property. All that was left of the body were a few bones and skull fragments.

Reports also suggest the man lived alone and was a heavy drinker.
