As a longtime coroner operating in these regions of the Amazon, I've been presented with all sorts of corpses at the autopsy table. Ranging from the most gruesome to the least of the bunch. Few heavily disfigured - most likely inflicted by the creatures inhabiting here while most were caused by man usually through blunt-trauma force, slash to the jugular vein, drowning, strangulation, complete decapitation or outright dismemberment.

Yet there was one bizarre case I was given to handle and out of my entire career I've never witnessed or heard anything like this before. I dealt with a lot of bodies before - very few do frighten me. But this was absolutely horrifying and shocking at the same time.

A gigantic catfish. Well, you might be thinking I'm pulling your leg; I thought so too about my colleagues - thinking they were messing around with me until I regrettably saw the front end of the fish's tail. Two masculine legs were protruding out from its wide gaping mouth.

Frankly, I don't know what was more disturbing, this or the fact the victim didn't even have his pants or any underwear on.
