This is the chilling moment a crocodile emerged from the water carrying a missing man in its jaws the day after dragging him down by biting his crotch.

Darlin Uti, 30, was snorkelling in the river to fix an underwater pipe near his home in Sulawesi, Indonesia, when the river beast attacked.

The victim's sister, who was on the river bank, tried to help Darlin by pulling the hose he was using to breathe underwater.

But the crocodile thrashed around in the water and disappeared into the depths having plunged its razor-sharp teeth into Darlin's crotch.

Indonesian authorities immediately began searching for the missing man from the Kinapani Village alongside the Malaoge river.

The Search and Rescue Team spotted Uti's body the next day when the crocodile appeared on the surface with its jaws still clamped around Darlin's body.

The man's lower legs and feet can be seen in the video sticking out of the water as the huge crocodile floats past before submerging again.

Rescuers boarded boats and eventually retrieved Uti's body intact and was returned to his family for a funeral.

Team member Usmanudin said: 'There was a huge bite wound in Darlin's groin which could have caused him to bleed and die, but his body was still intact inside the crocodile's mouth.'

Usmanudin also said the Malaoge River is a thriving habitat for crocodiles in the area and warned locals to be cautious if they have to go into the water.

Darlin's death came just two day afters another man, Subli, 35, was killed by a crocodile while he was washing his hands in a canal in the Indragiri Hilir regency.

According to the Natural Resources Conservation Centre, there has been a rise in crocodile attacks in Indonesia in the last year.

Locals have been told to report any crocodile sighting to authorities immediately.

Dalam artikel disebutkan, kejadian dalam video itu berada di Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tenggara). Korban, Darlin Uti, diserang buaya saat memperbaiki pipa bawah air di dekat rumahnya. 

Dalam artikel berjudul, Viral 'Video Buaya Seret Mayat Manusia di Serpong', Dipastikan Hoax yang dimuat pada 10 Oktober 2019, situs Detik.com mengabarkan bahwa Kapolres Tangerang Selatan AKBP Ferdi Irawan memastikan bahwa informasi yang menyebut, lokasi dalam rekaman berada di wilayahnya, adalah hoaks.

Ada juga yang mengklaim, penampakan buaya membawa jasad manusia itu ada di Pangandaran.

Namun, hal itu telah dibantah dalam artikel berjudul Warga Heboh, Ada Buaya Makan Manusia, Ternyata Bukan di Pangandaran yang dimuat situs Pikiran Rakyat pada 14 Mei 2019. 

Klaim yang menyebut penampakan buaya membawa jasad manusia, dalam video yang viral berada di Serpong BSD, sama sekali tak didukung bukti. 

Hasil penelusuran foto menggunakan Google Reverse Images menunjukkan, kejadiannya di Sulawesi Tenggara, bukan di Serpong BSD maupun Pangandaran.
