Another severed foot washes up on BC beach ?

Officials are saying the feet separated naturally since they were in tennis shoes and therefor will float....So if they expect NO fowl play what evidence do they have that indicate that this is "natural"! Shipwrecks? or what? Please leave your comments and hypothesis. This is scary to me.

    I would definitely say it's spooky.

    It is an understandable explanation that the feet and hands are likely the first things to "break off" a decomposing body, and the running show buoyancy makes it float to the surface.

    But then, where are all these bodies coming from?

    They were able to identify two of the feet found were matching pairs, two found near Richmond belonging to a woman, while two others found on Valdez and Westham Islands belonged to a man.

    But that still leaves four different bodies, not including the foot found yesterday. And it sounds like these feet are all coming down the Fraser River.

    And are we only finding running shoes because the rest don't float? How many feet in loafers, high heels, and sandals are washing down river that we don't see? eeew!

    Not exactly the thing you want to make international headlines with.

    This has been an ongoing issue for some time now. These feet washing up are nothing new.

    How can they say they are natural? They can't say that and actually they don't. What they do say is that the feet separated from the bodies naturally as opposed to being chewed off by animals or cut off by mechanical means.

    Given the sea currents and the features of the area the police surmise that the persons died as a result of suicide however the investigations are still open and as more details come to light (if ever) the investigation will be conducted accordingly. They don't figure the feet float because of the shoes as much as the fact that the shoes "protect" the feet so they remain intact and wash up on shore once the foot decomposes and separates from the body.

    Thus far, only one body has been identified and it has been ruled a suicide.

    i've got been analyzing approximately this for a on an identical time as now. And it sort of feels that the path of the foot, and the place it finally ends up, relies upon on in spite of if it is a top or a left. Very unusual. what's LE's handle this up there in BC? Human ft washing ashore, various human ft. No rationalization. it is something out of a Steven King novel.

    The body detiorates and the show stays on the foot, shoes float, voila, floating foot washes up on shore. I suspect the victim fell off his boat, was running along the ocean and somehow got swept into the sea, or maybe even suicide...I don't believe that someone in Van is running around cutting peoples feet off and throwing them in the sea.

    It's 'foul' play, not 'fowl' play.

    The thing is, the dead feet are coming from somewhere, whether they are separating naturally or otherwise. They still come from a dead body, and the bodies aren't being found. That's what bothers me.

    The foot of a bear I heard ,on one of them. A prankster who works in a crematorium perhaps. Why always a foot ?
