A butcher, a worker at a slaughterhouse in Sheng Shui, Hong Kong, has died while trying to slaughter a pig, according to CNN. The hypothesis that investigators are considering is that the animal would have revolted against him, causing the man to be injured with the knife he was handling.
Police authorities are still investigating the circumstances of the incident. According to initial investigations, the butcher had previously shot the animal with a stun gun. Subsequently, the pig could have regained consciousness by rolling against the worker, hitting him and causing him to stab himself with the knife with which he was about to slaughter the animal.
