Body of American diver found inside shark

Parts of a woman’s body have been found inside the stomach of a shark, two weeks after she disappeared in Indonesia.

Colleen Monfore went on a diving trip with six friends and a tour guide near Pulau Reong – a small island in Alor Archipelago of central Indonesia renowned for its scuba spots – when she failed to resurface on Sept 26.

Rescue teams looked for the 68-year-old, an experienced diver from South Dakota, for eight days before calling off the search because of concerns about dangerous conditions at sea and a low chance of finding her body.

But two weeks later, a startled fisherman near neighbouring Timor-Leste made a surprising discovery.

After killing a shark because it was “in obvious distress”, he found the remains of a woman, as well as her wetsuit and bathing suit, inside its stomach.
