    KOTA KINABALU: The remains of a missing 60-year-old man have been recovered from the stomach of a large crocodile shot dead by wildlife rangers in Tawau.

    A Sabah Fire and Rescue Services Department spokesman said that rangers found the remains of Addi Bangsa, who went missing at a river in Kampung Sungai Mas Mas on July 19, were found in the 4.29m-long, 800kg male crocodile.

    According to firemen, a Sabah Wildlife Department team spotted the crocodile and identified it as the likely attacker.

    Rangers shot the reptile and Addi’s remains were found at about 10am on Sunday (July 23).

    The spokesman said family members confirmed it was Addi and his remains have since been sent to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.

    Addi was attacked by a crocodile while getting to his boat on the river at about 4am on July 19.

    Search teams carried out a search over the next few days covering a 3km radius at the mouth of the river some 70km from Tawau.
