DARWIN, Australia – An extremely rare albino-headed crocodile named for deceased pop legend Michael Jackson was killed in Australia after he ate a fisherman in front of his wife.
The 57-year-old victim was fishing in shallow waters in the Adelaide River, about 37 miles from Darwin in Australia’s Northern Territory. According to reports, the man waded into the river to untangle a fishing line when the 15-foot crocodile attacked, dragging him over 650 feet before chowing down.
Horrified, the fisherman’s wife fled in search of rescuers, but Michael Jackson had already eaten most of her husband by the time they arrived. Hours later, wildlife officials tracked down the rare reptile and killed it before recovering the remains of the fisherman.
