Piranhas Eat Drunk Man Alive in Bolivia

Hungry piranhas attacked and killed a young man who leaped into a river infested with the flesh-eating fish in the country of Bolivia.

Daniel Cayaya is a police official in the small city of Guayaramerin. He tells The Associated Press that the 18-year-old man was drunk when he jumped out of a canoe in the nearby town of Rosario del Yata, 400 miles (640 kilometers) north of the capital of La Paz.

Cayaya says the man bled to death after the attack, which occurred last Thursday. First word of the incident emerged Tuesday, when it was reported on a local radio station.

Cayaya says the police suspect suicide because the man was a fisherman in the region who knew the Yata river well.
