The Silver City Sun News is reporting that a N.M. man found partially eaten and buried may have been the victim of a mountain lion.
Robert Nowojski, 55, was found 80 yards from his small trailer home near Silver City in southwest New Mexico.
An autopsy is pending to confirm cause of death.
While police couldn't determine cause of death due to the condition of the body, a state police spokesman said it appears the body had been fed on.
Officers who arrived at the home to check on Nowojski after he was reported missing saw a mountain lion that wouldn't leave. Officers contacted the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and a conservation officer took a shot at the lion with a shotgun. The lion is being tracked by hunters with hounds.
Neighbors in the area reported a problem lion in the area with many dangerous encounters including a bold lion and an encounter during which a lion stalked a couple up their driveway. Other encounters report a lion in backyards and looking in windows of homes.
