Newcastle doctor Dave Hogbin named as man killed by 4.9-metre crocodile near Cooktown

The wife of a man who was killed by a 4.9-metre crocodile in far north Queensland has said his last act was to save her life and stop her from being pulled into the water too.

Queensland police said a formal identification process was under way and a report would be prepared for the coroner, but the remains were believed to be those of a missing 40-year-old New South Wales man.
