Two Die in Pig Shock Horror

Reuters

BUDAPEST (Nov. 26) - The annual pre-Christmas swine slaughter in a southwestern
Hungarian village came to a shocking end on Saturday after one man died of
electrocution while trying to stun a pig, whose owner then died of heart
attack.

Celebrations at the pig-killing party in Darvaspuszta took a turn for the worse
when an unnamed visiting Croatian man shocked himself to death while trying to
knock out a pig with a homemade electric pig stunner, national news agency MTI
said

A local man ended up in hospital with an irregular heart rhythm after
attempting a rescue by trying to unplug the device.

The accident so upset the pig's owner, he suffered a heart attack and died.

There was no word on the fate of the pig.
