https://www.yahoo.com/news/body-missing-indonesian-man-found-095848636.html<snip>
An Indonesian man, who had not been seen since the weekend, was found inside a 23ft (7m)-long python. Villagers on the island of West Sulawesi had the horrific task of cutting open the giant snake's stomach to retrieve the body.
Akbar was last seen on Sunday (26 March) before he left to harvest palm oil in the remote village. When his friends and neighbours realised he did not return home by the end of the day, they began searching for him.
A day later, when the police conducted a search they found a python had sprawled out in Akbar's garden, the BBC noted. Police said they feared the snake had swallowed the 25-year-old whole.
"They didn't find him [Akbar], but the villagers saw an unmoving python in the ditch. They grew suspicious that maybe the snake had Akbar. When they cut it open, Akbar was inside the snake," Mashura told the broadcaster's Indonesian service.
