The primary medico-legal investigation goal in deaths due to animal attacks is distinguishing between animal-related injuries and potential homicidal wounds. We report the case of a 49-year-old male found dead in his farm's pigsty, where a sow and her piglets were present. At the postmortem examination, numerous, severe blunt force injuries were observed on the body, with special regard to the upper extremities where massive injuries involving soft tissues, bones, and regional vessels, tendons, and nerves were present. The death resulted from severe bleeding from massive upper extremities injuries due to a domestic pig attack. Domestic pigs are usually placid but they can become aggressive if disturbed and attack humans producing severe injuries due to trampling, kicking and biting. Knowing the relevant anatomy, pattern of attack, and morphologies of wounds produced by particular animals can distinguish animal attacks from homicides, as well as attempt to identify the type of animal involved in an unwitnessed attack.

因动物袭击而死亡的主要法医调查目标是区分与动物相关的伤害和潜在的杀人伤口。我们报告了一个案例，一名 49 岁的男性被发现死在他农场的猪圈里，猪圈里有一头母猪和她的小猪。在尸检中，发现尸体上有许多严重的钝器伤，特别是上肢，软组织、骨骼、局部血管、肌腱和神经都有大面积损伤。死亡原因是家猪袭击导致上肢大面积受伤，严重出血。家猪通常很平静，但如果受到干扰，它们会变得好斗并攻击人类，因踩、踢和咬而造成严重伤害。了解相关的解剖结构，攻击模式，
