MANILA, Philippines — A 10-year-old girl was decapitated by a crocodile in a Philippine lake after the creature knocked over her canoe, police said Wednesday.
The girl and a classmate were on their way Saturday to their floating school on Agusan del Sur province's Mihaba Lake when the 23-foot-long crocodile bumped the boat, causing it to capsize, said Bunawan town police officer Melchor Danuco.
Rescuers found the girl's headless body floating on the lake on Tuesday, he said.
The classmate was rescued by a man escorting the pair in another boat, said Roel Hipulan, head of the private group that runs the school in remote Bunawan town.
"It's a monster crocodile," Hipulan said, adding that he had seen the creature. He said salt water crocodiles, some bigger than a bus, are known to inhabit the lake, though attacks are rare.
But the lake's waters have been swollen for the past several months, causing fish to scatter to others parts. With little to feed on, the crocodiles have become aggressive, he said.
The crocodile attack has prompted the temporary closure of the school and the evacuation of about 100 residents of houses on stilts on the lake, Hipulan added.
Damn, that's crazy.
Switch the word crocodile for black man and eating the head off for bullet and this article could easily represent any given Saturday in Houston
She died a cooler death than 99.5% of us will. On some level I'm jealous.
She was 10 years old so I'm going to have to disagree with you.
It would be a cool way to die if I was already old, like 60. Not 10. Or in my case, 18.
Well, I'm not saying it's a good thing. Obviously it sucks for this little ten year old that it was all over so soon. But just assessing the nature of her death; beats dying of cancer at an ICU in Milwaukee.
This makes absolutely no sense. Why would a 23' hungry croc just bite the head off and not eat the body? It will probably turn out that the dude in the other canoe was a pedophile and whacked the girl. Takes the meaning of "getting head" to a whole different level.

that's the crocodile from Hook
Age is just a number. A cool death is forever.
One bite from that and it's all over. I wouldn't get within 100 feet of it despite the restraints on it.
You've got to keep control of your head in dangerous situations.
Poor girl.
I didn't know there are still animals that can survive in the extremely polluted lakes in the Philippines.
