Family launch GoFundMe for ******** costs after Aurukun man killed by crocodile

The family of a man whose remains were found inside a captured crocodile a week after he went missing in Far North Queensland have shared their devastation at his tragic death.

The 60-year-old Aurukun man – who cannot be named out of respect for his family while they mourn him – was last seen leaving his home on January 30.

It is understood he had planned to fish at the mouth of the Ward, Watson and Archer Rivers before his disappearance.

A wide-scale search was launched in an effort to find the man.

However, Queensland Police suspended the operation and moved into a “recovery phase” on February 6.

Authorities euthanised a crocodile found in the Watson River and discovered human remains inside the reptile on February 7.

A GoFundMe campaign has been created to assist the 60-year-old man’s family pay for ******** costs.

“Our dear brother was taken by a crocodile recently and we need to raise money for his ********,” the fundraiser said.

“We are all so shocked and upset, many in our extended family have taken time off work and lost income, so we are reaching out to ask for some help for ******** costs.”

A ******** date is yet to be set, as the man’s family wait for police to release his body from forensics as part of preparing a report of the coroner.
