Missing Indonesian Woman Found Dead Inside Python After Three Days (Video)
A woman was discovered dead inside the belly of a python that had swallowed her whole in central Indonesia, a local official reported on Saturday, June 8, 2024.
The husband of 45-year-old Farida and residents of Kalempang village in South Sulawesi province found her on Friday inside a reticulated python measuring around five meters (16 feet).
Farida, a mother of four, went missing on Thursday night and did not return home, prompting a search effort, according to village head Suardi Rosi.
Her husband “found her belongings… which made him suspicious. The villagers then searched the area. They soon spotted a python with a large belly,” said Suardi.
“They decided to cut open the python’s stomach. As soon as they did, Farida’s head was immediately visible.”
Farida was found fully clothed inside the snake.
Such incidents are extremely rare, but several people in Indonesia have been swallowed whole by pythons in recent years.
Last year, residents in Southeast Sulawesi’s Tinanggea district killed an eight-meter python found strangling and eating a farmer.
In 2018, a 54-year-old woman was found dead inside a seven-meter python in Southeast Sulawesi’s Muna town. The year before, a farmer in West Sulawesi went missing before being found eaten by a four-meter python at a palm oil plantation.
