Sydney, Australia: <\/b><\/p>\n
The remains of an Australian man who went missing on a fishing trip in crocodile-infested waters have been found inside two of the reptiles, police said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The 65-year-old victim, named in Australian media as Kevin Darmody, had gone fishing on Saturday in far north Queensland as part of a group, who shooed away a crocodile so they could start fishing, police said.<\/p>\n
People fishing with the pub manager heard him “yell, scream very loudly, followed by a large splashing of water”, said Cairns police inspector Mark Henderson.<\/p>\n
Rangers later used rifles to shoot and kill two crocodiles — one measuring about 4.2 metres (14 feet) and the other 2.8 metres (nine feet) — found upstream from where the group was fishing within Lakefield National Park.<\/p>\n
Examinations found human remains in both of the predators, police said.<\/p>\n
Henderson described it as a “tragic, tragic ending”.<\/p>\n
The man was “a very nice fellow” from the rural north Queensland town of Laura, which has a population of about 130 people, Henderson said.<\/p>\n
Queensland state wildlife official Michael Joyce urged people to be wary.<\/p>\n
“This is croc country. If you are in water and especially if you are in Lakefield, which is declared specifically for crocodile conservation, you should expect crocodiles in that water.”<\/p>\n
