Fisherman makes gruesome discovery2009-04-08 A local fishing boat crew made a gruesome discovery recently about 18 miles out to

sea in the vicinity of Pai (Bamboo) Island, and took the body of a man, who they had found floating in the water, back to dry land where they were met by a Sawangboriboon paramedic rescue team and police officers.

When the rescue teams arrived, they observed the fishing boat towing the dead body towards the dock. Upon closer examination the body which had no head, arms or legs from the knee down appeared to have been in the water for something like a month and probably belonged to a foreigner with a large frame.

The son of the boat owner who had made the gruesome discovery told police officers that he and four friends had been on their way back to shore after a mornings fishing when they spotted the body floating in the water. They used nets to snare and then tow the dead person back to shore whilst contacting emergency services by mobile phone.

The body, which is believed to be a foreigner, cannot be identified and a forensic laboratory will be utilised to try and find out the identity of the John Do and his cause of death.

Are there not sharks and things around to scavenge? A month in the water sounds a bit long for the body cavity to still be intact. Although how many people are experienced enough to know the difference between 1 week and a month?
