Python Swallows Indonesian Man Whole

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Shocking video from Indonesia shows the sickening moment a dead man was cut out of a 23-foot-long python's stomach after being swallowed whole.  Reticulated pythons are boa constrictors that suffocate their victims before swallowing them whole.

25-year-old Akbar Salubiro, went missing after setting off to harvest palm oil in a remote village on the island of west Sulawesi, Indonesia.  After he failed to return home, concerned friends and relatives found a giant python sprawled out in Akbar's own back garden the next evening - and feared he had been suffocated and swallowed.  Akbar's lifeless body was found inside the serpent after horrified locals sliced open its belly using a 18-inch long hunting knife.

Akbar's wife, Munu, was away at the time and only found out when pictures and video emerged in the news, local media reported.  Village secretary Salubiro Junaidi said: 'People had heard cries from the palm grove the night before Akbar was found in the snake's stomach.  When the snake was captured, the boots Akbar was wearing were clearly visible in the stomach of the snake.  Residents cut open the belly of the snake and Akbar was lifeless."
