Tragic Blair County Hermit Devoured by Pets On Brush Mountain
The Altoona Evening Mirror reports the bones of A. Link Lingle aged 69 found near Tyrone Blair County after a lonely life at a Brush Mountain shanty. A pack of fifteen dogs and twenty cats kept as pets apparently consumed the recluse, leaving only skull fragments and scattered remains. It remains unclear if natural death preceded the animal predation or if an attack triggered the fatal scene. The report notes Lingle’s long presence in Tyrone and his work in a fruit patch lumbering and truck farming. A sister and son-in-law visited the site after he failed to return for weeks.
