He was missing his head and arms and found by a sand dune but no foul play. Yall got to be kidding!!
@Lydia225 makes you wonder what documentary he was making and of whom
This is nyc you really believe he went swimming in the winter and even if he did go in the water where is the rest of his body
@maitai85 she doesn’t know what she’s talking abt. Obviously it was a documentary that he was doing and was on his bike. Or maybe he went just to look at and listen to the water and there was foul play. I never heard of him wearing a bathing suit though. I’m Irish ☘️ and I know his family must be drowning in tears. Terrible. I pray they find him.
No foul play. He dismembered himself, obviously.
@NewYorkUser600660004 Also, putrefaction and scavenging creatures will dismember the corpse in a week or two
He was killed😭 fish don’t know how to perfectly cut off human heads and arms
