Inside his home, horrified officers reportedly found a thigh bone inside a pair of ragged trousers on the ground.

Two smaller eight-inch bones (20 centimetres) were discovered near a T-shirt, reports local media.

Police believe Tonini’s pack of dogs simply ate him after he stopped feeding them following his death from unknown causes.

Investigators said Tonini, aged around 65, had died a few days earlier and “was eaten by dogs because he was missing many parts”.

Tonini’s daughter, named as Susana Elizabeth Videla Tonini. Told police that they had not spoken two years after a family falling out.

His neighbours said he was a loner who only shared his home with his dogs.

An autopsy is to be held on his scant remains to establish a cause of death but police say there were no signs of violence.
