Crocodile is seen eating a man in Florida

Police said suspect the man was already dead when one or two crocodiles began to eat it




A crocodile was spotted by two fishermen eating a man in a canal on Florida swamps.

Police said suspect the man was already dead when one or two crocodiles began to eat it.

The grotesque discovery happened at the end of the night Monday, he told AFP Sergeant Pablo Castañeda of Davie police in Broward County (Florida, southeastern United States).

"There were two fishermen in the area and they saw a crocodile in his mouth something that looked like human remains," Castañeda said.

The episode occurred in the Everglades canal, swampy area of ​​Florida near the town of Southwest Ranches, south of Weston.

The body is now with the experts.

"The only thing we can confirm it was sex, which is male. We do not know the breed or age. You are in an advanced state of decomposition," added the official. He said the body was of a deceased person "several days."

"We do not believe that his death was caused by the crocodile," he added. "We are investigating the case as a murder because it is a suspicious death."

Television footage showed crocodile hunters watching the site with assault rifles while divers sought clues in the swampy waters.

No crocodile was injured as a result of the investigation.
