13 Most Bizarre Things Found Inside People’s Bodies

13. A Live Eel

In 2010, a man in China went to hospital after he started get unbearable stomach cramps and severe anal bleeding.

Doctors went through all of the usual suspects - tumours, organ damage, haemorrhoids - but on closer inspection the found that the damage had actually been cause by a live eel.

After the possibility that the eel could have survived after being eaten, it turned out that it had actually been put there by the man's caring friends.

After a night of drinking he had passed out and his chums decided that inserting a  live eel up into his anus would be the height of banter (classic). The eel caused so much damage that the man died 10 days later.

In a similar incident, another man in China decided to put an eel up his own butt after seeing it in a porn film. The eel chewed through his insides and had to be retrieved via surgery, but the man survived and, to add insult to injury, then faced animal cruelty charges.

A cautionary tale that we can surely all learn something from.
