A holiday outing turns into nightmare for a family in Brazil when their six-year-old girl was attacked and partly eaten by piranhas. The child was with her grandparents and four other children in a canoe that capsized in a storm in Maicuru River last month-end. Later her body was found partly devoured by a large shoal of piranhas, reported BBC . Her grandmother was quoted as saying that she managed to pull other children to safety but the little girl “slipped from her grasp”. The girl's body was taken to a morgue in Monte Alegre, and postmortem images show that virtually all the flesh was stripped from her legs, the reported added.
