Digital Desk: The body of a 54-year-old missing woman was found inside a 22-foot python. Authorities in Indonesia were searching for a woman who had gone missing at her workplace when they came across a 22-foot-long python that appeared unusually bloated.
The python was then killed, and the snake was cut open to see the woman's body, whole and intact, inside the snake's stomach.
As per local media reports, the woman, identified as Jahrah, went to a rubber plantation in Jambi, located on the island of Sumatra where she works, on Sunday morning. She was reported missing that evening when she did not return home from work.

"The victim was discovered in the stomach of the snake," said local police chief AKP S Harefa, adding that the snake was up to 7 metres (22 feet) long. Harefa told CNN Indonesia that after cutting open its belly, they were able to confirm it was the missing woman.

The following year, a woman, also in Indonesia, was swallowed whole by a python while checking on her crop.
