A group of fishermen made a shocking discovery when they found a shark with human remains inside. It was a tragic case involving an American woman, Colleen Monfore, who was on her dream vacation. She was believed to have been eaten by the shark while diving with her friends near Pulau Reong island on September 26.
According to reports, Colleen, 68 years old and hailing from South Dakota, was exploring the ocean with her friends when she was swept away by strong currents. Despite the efforts of their diving guide, she couldn't be rescued and a search was launched to find her. However, after eight long days of searching, the rescue team had to give up due to the dangerous conditions at sea and the slim chance of finding her.
Just when everyone had lost hope, a fisherman from East Timor discovered human remains inside the belly of a shark. The officials in the Liquisa District confirmed that the body was that of a Western woman, wearing a black wet suit, matching Colleen's profile. It was a heartbreaking moment for everyone involved.
The fisherman who made the discovery shared his experience, saying that the shark appeared to be in poor health and he initially thought it had swallowed plastic or a fishing net. However, upon cutting it open, they found the remains of a woman inside. The officials in East Timor immediately contacted the coast guard in Indonesia and appealed for information on anyone with missing friends or relatives who were diving in the nearby islands.
Muhammad Saleh Goro, the Head of the Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Management of the Alor Islands Marine Park, confirmed the news and stated that they were working with the Indonesian Embassy in Dili to gather more information. He also mentioned that the victim was wearing a diving suit, indicating that she was a diver. Further investigations were being carried out to confirm if she was someone who had been reported missing in Indonesia.
The chief of police in Southwest Maluku, Ipda Giovani BM Toffy, also gave his statement on the case. He explained that Colleen's friends had initially reported her missing and a search was launched with the help of the local residents. However, despite their efforts, Colleen couldn't be found.
Pulau Reong, a small island in the Alor Archipelago, is a popular spot for scuba diving, known for its rich marine life and beautiful corals. It has been gaining popularity in recent years due to the diversity of dive sites and the peaceful atmosphere compared to other neighboring countries.
The news of Colleen's tragic death has left the diving community in shock. It serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of diving and the importance of being cautious and prepared at all times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Colleen's family and friends during this difficult time.
