That is an interesting way to get rid of a body! Surprised I haven't seen this on CSI yet! I mean virtually no mess and there would probably be very little forensic evidence after the Vultures picked it clean and contaminated it.

Ok this is really interesting. This is some kind of burial ritual in tibet where they make slices in the dead body and then let these vultures have their way with the remains. Not sure why, it didn't explain too much more, somethin about death, and the sky, and birds, and a mass feeding frenzy of vultures......... lot's and lot's of vultures.

I'm not sure if this has been posted, i did a search and could not find anything.

In Tibet they have sky funerals, where their funeral consists of giving the dead to the earth or birds. They drag the body out, either crush it or just place it there for the buzzards to eat.
If interested, here is the source.
