A 54-year-old woman went missing from her Indonesian village Thursday (June 14) and it is the fault of a 23-foot-long python, according to The Los Angeles Times, citing a local official.

The woman, Wa Tiba, went to check on her vegetable garden on Muna Island on Thursday but didn’t return. By Friday, her family went to the garden to look for her but instead found her sandals, a flashlight — and a massive snake with a bloated stomach.

“When they cut open the snake’s belly they found Tiba’s body still intact with all her clothes,” the official told The Los Angeles Times. “She was swallowed first from her head.”

The python attack is the second in Indonesia since March 2017, when a 25-year-old man was swallowed whole.
