New Delhi:
A crocodile clasping a foot of a missing man has been captured in one of the most gut-wrenching videos. According to The Sun, the missing man identified as Darlin Uti was diving in the murky water to clear an underwater pipe near his home in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, when the crocodile suddenly pounced and dragged him into the river.
The victim's sister, who was on the river bank, desperately tried to rescue him by grabbing the hose Darlin used to breathe underwater and pluck him to safety but to no avail. The crocodile is reported to have gotten away with Darlin in its jaw by thrashing around in the water, then disappearing into its depths having plunged its sharp teeth into Darlin's crotch.
Viewers discretion advised:
After the horrifying incident was reported, Indonesian authorities immediately began searching for the missing man from the Kinapani Village along the Malaoge River. The Search and Rescue Team (SAR) spotted the missing man's body the next day, when the crocodile reappeared on the surface with the missing man’s feet in it jaws.
Darlin's remains have reportedly been given to his family for a funeral.
