It looks like the fish is half way torn in half. Wats wrong?

How much and how often are you feeding your fish?
He really looks like he has bloat. Is he still alive & swimming around with a chunk of
his tummy gone?
 
Is there anywhere in the tank that she could've gotten stuck? Danios tend to throw caution to the wind when they're chasing each other around - and I lost one female Zebra Danio when she swam in between the thick stems of my Anubias Nana and got wedged in.

She practically crushed herself trying to get loose. Didn't live long after that.
