Tragic! The man was tragically swallowed alive by a crocodile, and the body was found in the belly of the fish, and the last action made people cry......
He's a hero
A doctor was on vacation with his family, but he didn't expect to die in the belly of a crocodile in an instant, and the scene was shocking.
Dave Hogbin, 40, is a family doctor in Newcastle, Australia. On Saturday, he was camping with his wife and three children, ages 2, 5 and 7, on the banks of the Annan River in southern Cooktown, Queensland.
The area is famous for its giant crocodiles, known as the "Crocodile Bend", and many people even travel thousands of miles to see this ferocious animal.
Dave is a camping and outdoor 4WD enthusiast who often travels with his family on wild adventures across Australia.
The family also came here to camp last year and liked it very much, and this year they drove here again, but they didn't expect an accident.
Last Saturday afternoon, Dave walked alone along a path along the riverbank. The road is a full 5 meters higher than the river, just to prevent crocodiles from climbing up and hurting people.
Unexpectedly, the dirt road under Dave's feet suddenly collapsed without warning, and he slid down in an instant. Dave was tall and strong, but he couldn't climb up on his own.
Jane, who was nearby, heard the sound of falling water and immediately rushed over, and her husband was struggling helplessly in the water.
Jane reached out and grabbed her husband's arm, trying to pull him up with all her might. However, due to the heavy rain for several days, the landslide site was steep and slippery, and she began to slide into the river.
At this time, a giant crocodile with a length of 4.9 meters is approaching ......

Jane later recalled that the moment her husband realized that she too would fall into the water, he broke free of her hand so that she did not slide into the river.
In an instant, the crocodile bit Dave violently and disappeared into the water.
If it weren't for her husband's last selfless act, Jane might have died on the spot.
The consolation in the tragedy is that the three children did not witness the scene of their father being dragged away by the crocodile at that time, and their mother will be with them in the future.
Two days after the incident, on Monday night, local wildlife rangers spotted the crocodile that attacked Dave 2.5 miles from the incident.
This crocodile is very easy to identify due to the obvious scar on its mouth.
The rangers euthanized him and subsequently found human remains in the crocodile's belly. While the exact identity still needs to be cross-referenced, Dave's remains are almost certainly the remains.
This is the second case of crocodile cannibalism in Australia in more than a month. On July 2, a 12-year-old girl was dragged away by a 4.2-meter crocodile while playing in a creek in the Northern Territory.
A few days later, the body was found and the crocodile was shot.
Crocodiles are attacking people more frequently, which may be related to human feeding of crocodiles.
An online video shows the family throwing fish and meat crumbs into the water just upstream of the river where Dave was being dragged away by the crocodile, waiting for the crocodile to arrive.
After a while, a large crocodile swam over and swallowed one of the fish that was still on the shore.
In Queensland, it is illegal to feed crocodiles.
Feeding crocodiles on the riverbank or dock will encourage them to wander around the neighborhood and wait for their next good meal.
Visitors are at greater risk of attack if they approach or enter the water.
