Body found in search for child missing in crocodile attack

Australian authorities have made a heartbreaking discovery in the search for a missing 12-year-old child who is believed to have been a victim of a crocodile attack. Human remains were found during the search near the remote Aboriginal town of Nganmarriyanga in the Northern Territory.

The child was last seen swimming with family members on Tuesday, sparking a massive search effort involving up to 40 members of the community. The remote location of the town, about a seven-hour drive southwest of Darwin, made search efforts challenging.

Authorities have not provided details on whether the suspected crocodile responsible for the attack has been located. The tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers posed by wildlife in Australia’s Northern Territory.
