two weeks after she disappeared in Indonesia.

Colleen Monfore was on a diving trip with six friends and a tour guide near Pulau Reong – a small island in the Alor Archipelago of central Indonesia, renowned for its scuba spots – when she ******* to resurface on Sept 26.

Rescue teams looked for the 68-year-old, an experienced diver from South Dakota, for eight days before calling off the search because of concerns about dangerous conditions at sea and a low chance of finding her body.

Two weeks later, after ******** a shark because it was “in obvious distress”, a fisherman near neighbouring Timor-Leste found the ******** of a woman, as well as her wetsuit and bathing suit, inside its stomach.

“The shark was caught but it was not in normal health. I thought it had swallowed plastic or a fishing net,” the fisherman told The Sun. “It was cut open to find the problem, and inside there were the ******** of a woman.”

According to the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources, it can take a shark several days to fully digest a meal, but during that process their stomach “produces an acid that is strong enough to dissolve metal”.

Ms Sass said: “Colleen’s body was identifiable. Her fingerprints (again identifiable) are being used by our US embassy and the local government for proof of ******. This would not be possible if the shark had attacked her weeks ago.

“Colleen’s husband said she would [have] been heartsick to know a shark ***** because of her and that her ****** is giving sharks, once again, a bad name.”

Brendon Sing, a researcher and founder of Shark Guardian, said: “Sharks rarely would ******* and ***** an ****** human being. Tiger sharks, especially, are often scavengers and prey on animals or species that are already *****, injured or weakened in some way.”
