Well, my grandson was right! Deer eat people.
When he was three, he wanted a tent set up in the yard, so I took care of that task. My stepdaughter lived in a home on my ranch, and both my home and her's are enclosed in a fence. After a day or so he said he would like to spend a night in the tent, so I prepped the bedding. As it was getting dark, he started to watch the deer walking around outside the fence, and it was bothering him, and he told me so, he thought they were going to eat him. I told him "deer don't eat people" and he responded, "I'm not people, I'm Noah, and they are going to eat me!" With that, we went inside and slept!

Most animals will eat just about anything, and they will chew on just about any type of bone for the nutrients if they aren't getting them from the other available food. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Good story Ranch Dog

I have seen numerous times cows chewing on bones. I am pretty certain they were not human, but animals make use of what is there. I think the thing that made this so startling was that it was a human bone. To the deer, it was just another source of calcium or whatever else the deer's body craved.

I don't think I'm going to donate my body to science I know I won't be around to know but I can't imagine putting my family through the thought of me feeding the black angles
