A man who disappeared while fishing with his friends in a remote part of northern Queensland has been found dead inside a crocodile. The incident occurred at Kennedy's Bend, which is known to be a habitat for saltwater crocodiles.
After a two-day search for Kevin Darmody, the police euthanised two large crocodiles and found human remains inside one of them. The identity of the remains has not been confirmed yet, but the police have called it a tragic end to the search for the 65-year-old fisherman, reports the BBC.
Mr Darmody was an experienced fisherman and a well-known member of the community in Cape York. Crocodile attacks are rare in Australia, and Mr Darmody's death is only the 13th fatal attack recorded in Queensland since 1985.
Despite a ban on hunting since 1974, Queensland's crocodile population has rebounded to around 30,000 today. Under the state's management program, "problem crocodiles" are removed from areas where they threaten public safety and, in rare instances, euthanised.
