7 year old Mexican , Manuel Abraham, was playing with his
father with a balloon when a strong wind suddenly carried it to the river bank.
As he rushed to the bank to catch the balloon, that the killer crocodile leaped
from the water and went for his neck.
The father and other eyewitnesses rushed to save the boy from the crocodile,
but it was too late. He was dragged into the river by the croc and possibly
being eaten alive. Rescue effort of the military, civil protection
groups and fishermen was immediately deployed to the location, neither Manuel’s
remains nor the crocodile were found.

Speaking to journalists, the grieving father blamed the city officials that
did not warn about the possibility of crocodile attacks. He said:
“We
had come to visit relatives when we decided to go for a walk and play with the
balloon. When it blew down to the shore I wasn't worried as no one had
told me there were crocodiles around.”
This incident makes it the eighth deadly attack by crocodile in this
region. But the capture of all crocodiles in the river and adjacent
territories has only now finally been officially ordered.
