It is suspected that the pig, after regaining consciousness, jumped up and pushed the slaughterer over. This is reported by the city’s police, according to CNN.
The butcher would have fallen over and suffered a serious wound of about forty centimeters.
Died in hospital
The cleaver with which the butcher would slaughter the pig was still in his hand when a colleague found the butcher on the floor. The man was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.
The exact cause of death is still under investigation by authorities. The butcher was also injured in his foot.
Authorities speak
A statement from the authorities read as follows: “The Department of Labor is saddened by the death of this individual and extends its deepest condolences to his family.” It is not clear what happened to the pig in question.
