Budiarto said Lykhvar was reported missing to the authorities last week, one
day after he left to snorkel around the remote Minyaifun island.
Budiarto said that rescuers spotted
a large saltwater
crocodile trailing behind Lykhvar’s body when he was discovered.
“We believe he was killed by a crocodile
judging from the missing body parts and the extent of his injuries,” he said.
The 37-year-old normally snorkelled with
his friends and a guide but decided go alone the morning before he was reported
missing, Budiarto said.
