He then called the villagers to help him cut open the reptile’s stomach and that’s when his wife’s body appeared.

Such incidents are rare, but several people have died in Indonesia in recent years after being swallowed by pythons.

Deaths from pythons are common

In early June, a 45-year-old woman was found dead in the stomach of a reticulated python (PS: the reticulated python is a species of python native to South and Southeast Asia, the longest snake in the world and the third heaviest), about five meters long .

That incident took place in the same province of South Sulawesi, also called Kelevi, but in a different village.

Last year, residents of the Tinangea district, in the southeast of Sulawesi island, killed an eight-meter python when they found it was trying to strangle and swallow a farmer.

In 2018, a 54-year-old woman was found dead inside a seven-meter python in the commune of Muna, in the southeast of the same region. Last year, a 4m python ate a farmer in West Sulawesi on a palm oil plantation
