The Tawau fire department found the crocodile believed to have eaten Adi, shot it dead, and then cut open its stomach. A body was found inside, and after taking some body parts for examination, the identity was confirmed to be Adi. The crocodile, whose stomach was cut open, weighed a staggering 800 kg and was known to be over 4 meters long.


Jemisin Ujin, the head of the Tawau fire station rescue team, said, "The Wildlife Department team cut open the stomach of a male crocodile weighing 800 kg and recovered Adi's remains," adding, "We also informed the family to confirm the identity."



This is not the first case of an attack by a crocodile. In August 2020, a 14-year-old boy went missing while catching snails with friends by the river in Sarikei village, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Witnesses reported, "It seems a crocodile dragged him away." It was later confirmed that the boy was a victim of a large 4.7-meter crocodile.
