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.
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.
People fishing with the man, a pub manager, heard him "yell, scream very loudly, followed by a large splashing of water," said Cairns police inspector Mark Henderson.
