The missing farmer was found in the belly of a 7-meter-long python.

The tragic end of an Indonesian farmer occurred when he was crushed and swallowed by a 7-meter-long python. The horrifying incident concluded with the snake's belly being cut open to retrieve the man's body.

Thirty-year-old Peco, a father of three, had gone to the plantation after sunset on Tuesday evening to collect palm sap used in making brown sugar. Concerned about Peco not returning home, his brother-in-law Wawan went out to search for him. Wawan realized the gravity of the situation when he saw a python with an unusually swollen belly and alerted the villagers.

Village officials arrived at the scene around midnight. When the snake's belly was cut open, Peco's body, covered in mud, was revealed. The police confirmed the incident, stating that Peco had been killed by the python and that they were not looking for any other suspects. The sad news was conveyed to Peco's wife Dewi and their three children.

Sabbang Police Chief Ipda Jusman stated, "We, along with the villagers, retrieved the victim's body from the snake's stomach. The body was taken to the funeral home and will be cremated today."

Indonesia, one of the large archipelagos in Southeast Asia, is home to the world's largest pythons and crocodiles. Vast pristine forests allow these snakes to hunt and grow freely. In recent years, the increase in palm sugar and rubber plantations has also led to a rise in human-snake encounters.
