Missing Australian fisherman’s body found in crocodile
The remains of Kevin Darmody, a 65-year-old Australian fisherman who went missing while fishing with friends, have been found inside a crocodile in northern Queensland. Darmody was last seen at Kennedy’s Bend, a known habitat for saltwater crocodiles, before he disappeared. Two large crocodiles were euthanized and searched, with human body parts found inside one of them. Darmody’s friend John Peiti reported hearing Darmody yell before a loud splash and finding only his flip-flops.
Crocodile attacks are rare in Australia’s tropical north, and Darmody’s death is only the 13th fatal attack recorded in Queensland since 1985. The area’s crocodile population is managed by the government, with “problem crocodiles” removed or, in some cases, euthanized.
