while on holiday with his family on Saturday afternoon.

The general practitioner reportedly leaves behind a wife and three children.

Hogbin is believed to have fallen into the water from a riverbank before being taken by the crocodile.

“He was at the top of the bank and has fallen into the water, and it’s quite a large drop there,” Acting Chief Superintendent Shane Holmes said on Monday.

The incident sparked an extensive search, before a crocodile reportedly measuring 4.9m was captured and ******* on Monday afternoon.

Human ******** were found in the crocodile.
