The body of a missing farmer was found inside the belly of a huge 14ft crocodile as locals sliced it open in front of his horrified family.
Addi Bangsa, 60, was discovered in the beast after a four-day search in Tawao, Malaysia, on July 23.
The elderly man had been missing for four days before the Sabah Wildlife Department brought the tragic search to an end after cutting open the stomach of the massive reptile.
The remains of Bangsa were found buried inside the animal’s gut as the wildlife officials pulled them out and stuffed them into a plastic bag.
Tawau Fire and Rescue Station chief, Jemishin Ujin, confirmed that the deceased’s family members were present when the crocodile’s stomach was opened early in the morning.
After further examinations, results confirmed the victims identity as all the body parts were found inside the creature.
Ujin stated that on the fourth day of the search for Bangsa, their team was informed that the rescue team had found a male crocodile believed to have swallowed the man.
Further investigations confirmed the sighting of the animal and its involvement in the death of Bangsa.
The animal was shot at about 3am on July 22, and the stomach was then split open at around 9am when the family members arrived.
The gigantic reptile weighed about 126 st and measured over 14ft in length.
