Scientist Killed by 107-Stone Crocodile | Sheffield News

In a chilling Indonesian tragedy, 44-year-old scientist Deasy Tuwo was killed by a 17-foot, 107-stone crocodile named Merry while feeding it at a pearl farm on Sulawesi. The attack occurred when she fell into the enclosure, and despite frantic efforts by colleagues to retrieve her body, Merry’s sheer size and aggression made the rescue impossible. The crocodile, already known for violent behavior—including killing another croc—remains at large, and its owner’s fate is unknown. This grim incident underscores the deadly reality of crocodiles, which claim far more human lives annually than sharks, even when humans aren’t their intended prey.
