Authorities say a missing Indonesian grandmother was swallowed whole by a 22-foot python over the weekend.

The family of the 54-year-old woman reported her missing after they say she went to collect rubber on a plantation Sunday near her home in Jambi, Indonesia, according to CNN Indonesia. The city is on the island of Sumatra, the country's second-longest Island.

Betara Jambi Police Chief S. Herafa told the outlet when her husband went to look for her, he found only her sandals, jacket, headscarf and knife.

According to the chief, two days after she disappeared, a search party found a reticulated python with a large bulge in its stomach. 

The police chief told the Times of India a woman was found in the snake's stomach and that her body appeared to be largely intact.

After splitting the snake's belly by residents, it turned out that... the woman was (the missing woman) who had died," Harefa said to CNN Indonesia.

No one witnessed the woman being eaten, the outlet reported.

Nevertheless, that attempt can at the very least be a catalyst for discussion. What follows is an attempt to identify decade-defining moments in the history of the United States since the country’s inception. 1770s: Declaration of Independence (1776) The centrality of the Declaration of Independence (1776) to the developments of the 1770s is self-evident. From the Boston Tea Party to the “shot heard round the world,” Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River, and the Valley Forge winter, the American Revolution’s pursuit of liberty was made meaningful by the founding document of the great American experiment in democracy. 1780s: Constitution of the United States of America (1787) With the war won, independenc...

The death penalty is still very much alive

This figure is likely to be inaccurate as it does not take into account the many executions which take place outside of the public eye. The whole world seems to be implicated: the death penalty is not only a state-controlled punishment but is also practised by terrorists. Sometimes these executions are highly publicised such as the televised 'death sentence' (murder) of journalist Daniel ...
