Something may be afoot.

Who is going to foot the bill for this snafu?

[PGR88]

Had to click through 3 links in the story, only to get this pathetic bit of crap jargon in an attempt to figure out what happend:

The investigation determined, to the best of our knowledge, that an unwitnessed incident involving one individual happened on the morning of July 31, 2022, at Abyss Pool, and no foul play occurred.

What exactly is an "unwitnessed incident?" I assume it simply means "we think he fell in?"

[Boogieman]

“belonged to Los Angeles man”

I take it from the past tense that the man is no longer with us?

[vivenne]

Where’s the rest of him?

[Boogieman]

Either he fell in and the shoe protected his foot from being liquified like the rest of him, or this guy went to a whole lot of pain and trouble to fake his death in a very unusual way, that’s what I’m thinking.

[BenLurkin]

They don’t know what happened but they ruled out foul play.

[Drew68]

Where’s the rest of him?

He was slow-roasted until all the meat fell off the bones.

[Boogieman]

I’m guessing nobody wants to dive into the 140 degree water to find out?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Isn’t 140 F a typical sous vide temperature? I guess his name should be Me Now Stu.

[Bonemaker]

Some New York puke probably pushed Asian guy into pool.

Found three months ago. I would have thought the family had reported him missing while visiting there if it was simply a fall, and they’d have checked DNA sooner. Strange.

[Red Badger]

Very acidic.....................

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Seriously, though, that would be a terrible way to die. Immersion in really hot water (>200 degrees) would kill the surface nerves immediately, but I don’t think 140 would do that. I’ve been scalded by hot water, and it’s one of the more painful burns IMO.

Reading the headline I thought it was some prehistoric man they had dubbed Los Angeles Man. Ooooppps

How did the foot get all the way there from the shores of Washington?

[BenLurkin]

I would have to be a left foot for that.
