SYDNEY, Australia -- Human remains found inside a huge tiger shark caught off Australia's eastern coast belong to a fisherman, police said yesterday.
A skull, arm and pelvis were found on Sunday when a fisherman cut open the three-metre-long shark after catching it about 100km north of here.
Police said the remains inside the 370 kilogram shark were those of 52-year-old Kang Suk Lee, from Sydney. Lee was washed into the sea while fishing from rocks near Port Kembla, about 150km south of Sydney, on April 2.-- Sapa-AP
