Body in fishing net off Chatam
http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pb...EWS11/71115014
A body that was found Sunday by a fishing boat was identified today as a properly permitted burial at sea dating from 2001, said Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe.
The body was buried at sea in March 2001 after receiving the necessary permitting, O'Keefe said in a press release. The family of the deceased has been notified of the body and proper arrangements are being made.
A fishing crew on the 80-foot Boston-based Guardian found a body 20 miles off Nauset Beach at about 7:10 a.m. Sunday.
The crew contacted the Chatham Coast Guard Station.
The Guardian was too large to dock at Chatham Harbor, so the body was transferred to a Coast Guard vessel shortly after noon.

The poor guys body has been floating for 6 years?? I imagine it must have been a pretty gruesome sight, water really does a number on a corpse in a few days, never mind 6 years.

Seriously, On the National Geographic Channel they showed a whale carcass on the bottom and then went back a year later and there was only a little bit of tissue left.
How did they identify the body? is right. |

Probably had been embalmed. Formaldehyde will make you last.

You have to feel bad for the family, having to go through this all over again.

Most likely they'll now cremate the remains and then scatter at sea. That's what my father wanted, and what I'll probably want for myself. We scattered my dad's ashes out at Halfway Rock and I always think of him when I'm in sight of there.
I didn't think full body burials at sea were allowed anymore.... Regardless, someone's got some 'splaining to do.....
