• Police called off the search for a missing man after human remains were found in a crocodile's stomach.
• Kevin Darmody was last seen on April 29th while fishing with friends at Lakefield National Park.

Police in Australia have called off the search for a missing 65-year-old fisherman Kevin Darmody after human remains were found in the stomach of a crocodile, Queensland Police have said.

Another crocodile was also believed to be involved in the incident, per the BBC.

The two crocodiles, which measured 13.4 ft and 9.2 ft, were shot dead on Monday about a mile from where he was last seen., according to the police.

It has not yet been formally confirmed that the remains are those of Darmody, and police are preparing a report for the coroner.

Darmody was last seen on April 29th, when he was fishing with friends at Lakefield National Park.

One of the people he was fishing with, John Peiti, told local news outlet Cape York Weekly that Darmody was out of earshot when he heard him shouting.

"I heard Kev roaring about three times, and I tried to look down to see what was going on."

"Next minute, I heard a big splash, and I raced down. I reckon it only took me half a minute to get where he had been but there was no sign of him, just his thongs on the bank and nothing else."

In Australia, "thongs" refers to flip-flop shoes.

A friend of Darmody, Jody Andrews, said: "The whole thing is a real shock, He was so croc savvy and super conscious of the risks, always educating the tourists."

The crocodile attack happened in a part of Australia referred to as "croc country," where attacks by the giant reptiles are common.

There are roughly 30,000 crocodiles in Queensland alone.
