Mystery deepens as cops unable to ID human foot that washed up on Vancouver shore
2019-02-12
[Fox News]Canadian authorities on Monday said that they were unable to identify the person whose foot was found last year in a blue sock and a gray Nike sneaker that washed up on the Vancouver shoreline.

The foot, which was discovered in September 2018, is the 15th time in just over a decade that a human foot was discovered on the British Columbia shoreline. More than half of those feet were determined to have belonged to people who either died by accident or committed suicide, while the remaining third remain unidentified, according to the B.C. Coroners Service.
I'm beginning to see a pattern.
The coroner's service has determined that the latest foot belonged to a man, but have been unable to match its DNA with any databases. An identification specialist said the foot likely belongs to someone who was under the age of 50.

Chip Diller Andy Watson, spokesperson for the coroner's service, said the agency is "turning to the public for help" after exhausting all "of the available information" that was found at the scene, CBC reported. He insisted that the bizarre trend is not linked to "any sort of suspicious circumstance" and isn't "cause for panic."

#10  Let us pray for these castaway souls:
May they soon wash ashore in their shoals;
That they be more complete
(though they'll still just be feet),
Let us hopefully troll with our poles.

Also: hoser; froze 'er; toes, sir (or vice versa?)

#8  The suggestion that these people were killed in Canadian territory is completely with footing.

If Pappy were here, he'd give us both the boot.

The coroner might be extradited to the UK for trans-hate thought-crime of assuming the foot's gender.
