BUDAPEST (Reuters) - 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.
