A group of fishermen in the Philippines had no idea what they were in for when they managed to catch a giant tiger shark, back in early October. At first they were excited by their big catch, but little did they know, things were about to go very wrong for them, very quickly.
When we say giant tiger shark, we mean giant. The men guessed the weight of the shark at around 1,300 pounds.

They brought the shark on board and started to gut it. However when they opened up the belly of the shark, they found something horrifying.

Inside the shark’s stomach was a partially digested human head, and human leg. They said the smell of it was absolutely horrible, and they quickly decided to dump the human remains and the dead shark back into the ocean.

The startled sailors returned to port with their story. Locals think that the body may have come from the MV Maharlika ferry. The ferry sunk in a tropical storm back in September. All the passengers had been rescued except for two that were still missing.

With a shark that big, you have to wonder how many other humans it must have eaten during its life. Still, this is a tragic story, and being eaten by a shark sounds like one of the worst possible ways to leave this world.
