A 14-year-old boy has been found dead inside a crocodile's stomach after he was pulled from a riverbank and dragged underwater. Teenager Ricky Ganya had been collecting snails with his family at a riverbank in Kuching, Malaysia on Friday when the crocodile leapt out of the water and towards him. The 14-foot animal clamped its jaws around the boy's foot and dragged him underwater. The boy's aunt called for help and the emergency services arrived, but the boy was gone. They used a chicken as bait to lure the croc back out of the water and it was trapped in a snare four days later.
