Fishermen in Philippines Say they Found Human Head Inside Shark

A group of
fishermen in the Philippines said they found a leg
and partially digested human head inside the belly
of a massive tiger shark. 48-year-old Bodoy Gorgod
said he and four others were fishing Oct. 5 between
Camiguin and Bohol islands when they cught the
large tiger shark, which Gorgood estimated
weighed more than 650 pounds.
The fisherman and his colleagues opened up the
shark and found a partially digested human head
and a human leg.
"It was so disgusting. We can't bear the awful
smell," Gorgood told Minda News.
Gorgood said the group decided to keep the
shark's jaws and fins and they threw the rest,
including the human remains, back into the water
so as not to incur "bad luck."
Some locals speculated the remains could have
been from one of the missing passengers from the
M/V Maharlika 2 ferry, which sank Sept. 13 in
rough waters brought about by a tropical storm.
The vessel was carrying a total of 84 people when
it went down off Southern Leyte. Two male
passengers remain missing.
