Man Washed Off Rocks into the Sea and Recovered 3 Weeks Later
An individual washed off rocks into the sea. The man was not recovered until 3 weeks after being reported missing. Cause of Death: Unascertained in circumstances of immersion. The human remains located included the skull (cranium and mandible), entire axial spine including the sacrum, the right humerus, both scapulae, both clavicles, and semi-intact upper right and left ribs. The manubrium and sternum remains were in situ. The mid and lower ribs were largely absent. Residual posterior fragments of ribs showed oblique-oriented fractures.  Fig.1 Detail of the head.  Fig.2 Anterior view of the incomplete human remains.  Fig.3 Posterior view of the incomplete human remains. The teeth were in good condition and showed distinct pink discoloration. An amorphous mass of bleached decomposed skin was present over both right and left sides of the skull and, to a lesser degree, over the mandible. The skin of the neck remained intact as did the upper anterior and upper back areas of the torso. No internal organs remained for examination.  Fig.4 VR of the anterior and posterior (top) & left & right views of the skull and vertebrae (bottom) showing preservation (incomplete) of the human remains recovered from the sea. Examination of the cranium showed no immediate evidence of trauma. Postmortem CT provided a complete three-dimensional record of the preservation of the body. This individual could have died from drowning, natural disease, or trauma. The poor preservation of the remains restricts the ability of the examination to provide a definitive answer, pink teeth are often associated with water immersion but also occur in a number of scenarios. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

Might have been a rock fisherman, one of the most dangerous sports. The number of fishos who get dragged off to oblivion chasing the perfect spot is eye watering. His eyes certainly are…. or were.

I'm sure that was a tasty addition to some fishes' diet, and quite unexpected - like getting and extra Burrito Supreme that you didn't pay for at the Taco Bell drive-thru.

Re: Man Washed Off Rocks into the Sea and Recovered 3 Weeks Later
Great find Herman. I was very curious as to how someone could recover from being a skeleton  . The peculiarities of the English language eh?  |
