Missing man found in shark is the type of news that breaks the internet. Incidents like this happen once in a blue moon. 

The remains of a man who had disappeared in southern Argentina earlier this month appear to have been found inside a school shark that local fishermen captured.

An investigator in Argentina reportedly believes Diego Barría, 32, may have disappeared after crashing his ATV on the beach. He was supposedly dragged into the ocean. 

Barría, 32, was last seen riding his all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on a beach in the Chubut province on February 18th, 2023, according to the Associated Press and El País.

His ATV was found in a horrible condition on the beach two days after he went missing. 

Eight days after Barría’s disappearance, two fishermen informed the coast guard that they found human remains inside one of three school sharks they caught near the site where Barría’s ATV was discovered.

The fishermen discovered the remains while they were cleaning the shark. 

The human remains included a tattooed forearm, and Barria’s family instantly recognized the forearm and confirmed it belonged to him. The school shark in which the human remains were found measured around 4.9 feet.

The remains will undergo DNA testing to confirm that they belong to Barría.

The police have been investigating Barria’s disappearance and subsequent death. It remains unclear how Barría may have entered the water.

According to some sources, Barría texted his wife, Virginia Brugger, before his disappearance to tell her he would be coming home later than expected.

Barria’s call to his wife is reportedly the last time he was heard. 

The Father of three, Barria, was reported missing to the authorities two days later.

Daniela Millatruz, the law enforcement officer who led the search for Barría, told reporters that officials ‘presume Diego had an accident.’

Cristian Ansaldo, who leads the Comodoro Rivadavia police department, said, “One of the strongest hypotheses is that [Barría] collided with a rock [while driving the ATV] and that his body was carried away by sea.”

Barría’s wife paid tribute to her late husband on social media on Sunday. She wrote, “My heart went with you! I love you forever.”
