A distressed farm worker may have committed suicide by wading into a crocodile-infested river, police in South Africa said today.

Detectives believe labourer David Lubisi, 40, was eaten alive after he entered the Lepelle river following an argument with his girlfriend.

The father-of-three has not been seen for more than a week after apparently telling a colleague about his painful plan on April 7.

No women, however beautiful or amazing is worth doing this. I’m just sayin...I wonder at what point as he was getting snacked upon did he regret his decision. Most likely after his feet were eaten and then he was screwed....

That sounds like a painful way to die. If I was going to do myself in, I’d prefer it to be painless.

It isn’t just women. A job that was lost, a boyfriend/husband/ whatever... nothing is worth taking your life for...

He could’ve just eaten his pinky finger.

Not sure if I’m up to date with my knowledge of crocodile culinary habits, but I think what it is they do is grab their prey, perhaps do a “death roll” or two, drown it, and then store it some place to let it “ripen” for a while. (I.e. not at all like sharks eat.)

If two or more crocs get a grab of you, all bets are off, of course.

True enough...a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
