Woman dies in python attack after being swallowed up to her shoulders, Indonesia officials say

A woman was found dead after being attacked by a python in central Indonesia, police and local officials said Friday, the third such death in the province since June.

Maga, a 74-year-old woman who like many Indonesians had one name, raised concerns when she did not return home on Wednesday, prompting a search by relatives.

She was found dead presumably "because of being constricted and bitten by the snake," said Supriadi, police spokesman in Palopo city in South Sulawesi province.
