Animal Planet TV Crew Finds Man on Deserted Island: 'He Was Prepared to Die'

A TV crew for Animal Planet's show River Monster was out on the sea filming last November when they came across a man on a largely deserted Australian island. 

The dramatic moment was captured on camera by the crew and aired on the network last week. "He had said his last prayer," Stephen Shearman, the director of the episodetold Inside Edition. "He was prepared to die and meet his maker." 

According to Shearman, the team was trying to solve the mystery of six men who died in a plane crash near to the Gulf of Carpenaria. But instead, they encountered the man, who they later found out was named Tremine, after they moved f-rom their original shoot location were the water was too choppy.
