Sometimes you get what's coming to you.  A suspected rhinocerus poacher was missing in South Africa.  He was not found...well, not intact anyway.

South African National Parks says the man and four accomplices were trying to poach a rhino this week.  The man's family say the accomplices called them to say he had been trampled to death by an elephant.

Wait, it gets better.

After searching for the man, a skull and a pair of pants were found.  Rangers say that man was more than likely eaten by lions.

An investigation is underway.

How exactly do you conduct this "investigation?"  Who's job is it to interrogate a lion?  A rhino?  An elephant?  Who's job is it to go looking for evidence in "droppings?"

Anyway, seems this fellow got what was coming to him.  If you're his family or friends, you can be upset, but you can't be surprised.
