NT croc victim's body found THE body of a 26-year-old man attacked by a crocodile in the Northern Territory has been found in the Mary River. Police recovered the body about 5.30am (CST) in the area he was last seen. The Darwin man had been celebrating a friend's 30th birthday on Saturday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about halfway between Darwin and Kakadu National Park, when he was snatched by the five-metre long saltwater crocodile. He was one of two male partygoers swimming across the muddy river about 3pm. Police thanked members of the public and staff from the Mary River Wilderness Retreat for their help during the search. "Our thoughts are with the family during this very difficult time," said search and rescue co-ordinator, Senior Constable Wade Rodgers. The search involved the Water Police, Territory Response Group, Parks and Wildlife and the Northern Territory Emergency Service. A report will now be prepared for the coroner.
