Chef bowels consumed by eel

In a prank that's gone horribly wrong, a man succumbed to his own drunkenness and his friends' idiocy.

The hapless chef fell victim to a prank while drunk in the Sichuan, China. Doctors extracted the creature from the 59 year-old’s rectum after his death. The eel had devoured his bowels.

Apparently, this eel is an amazing survivor, being able to move even over dry land. It can even survive temperatures below freezing, months without water. It is mostly found in warm fresh-waters locations such as muddy ponds, swamps, canals, and rice fields. And now, in dead chefs’ rectums.

Considered a voracious predator, little is known about this fish:

Locals of Thailand report that the female swamp eel watches over the eggs until they hatch. Young swamp eels reportedly stay at the surface of the water in shallow areas and group together in dense schools as the female stands guard by observing their surroundings. Although it is unknown whether the female defends the young from predators, observations have shown that a protective nature is prevalent. This fish is known to have a hearty appetite and feed on a wide assortment of prey. The Synbranchus marmoratus, which is another swamp eel found in Central America and the northern part of South America, is known for it's interesting color changes. Aquarium observers have reported that these color changes are related to the different states of the fish and ranges from brown, blue to black with a violet sheen. Swamp eels are used for human consumption in areas where they are found and often sold live in market places since they can survive without water for extended periods of time.
