I watched a documentary about a tribe in the Amazon and the hunters went out and killed a pig. Because it was the tropics and they had a long way to hike back with the animal it was already crawling with maggots by the time they returned to their village. The villagers started carving it up and eating it while some members of the film crew vomited from the stench and what they were observing.
So the question, how long after it is killed until the pig starts to go bad? The best answer I can suggest is that it depends on what you are used to. The fact that you said it was a road kill- and it sat ballooning in it's juices with possibly ruptured gall bladder and other organ and putrefying intestinal contents tainting the meat. This does not sound like meat for human consumption. Maybe somebody carved it out and fed it to their dogs?
