Heart attack? Spontaneous death due to global warming?
TOO many things can happen, such as:.
rogue wave
heart attack
step on something very sharp and need a doctor
trip and fall and hit head
"Jaws" eats boat
engine dies for some unknown reason
etc.
He is waiting on Tech Support for his IPhone. Just 3 more minutes so says the recording.
I read the story but saw no mention of a logbook.
Should question relatives about last contact with him.
Looks like the Wraith have found earth...
Do satellite phones work all over the world? If so, why would anyone go alone without one? They aren’t that big and the cost is minimal. Admittedly, the last one I used was 10 years ago, but the cost was $1 per minute. If you index it for inflation, it is cheaper than calling long distance in the early 70s- $.25/minute.
Does not appear that he abandoned his yacht...derelict might be a better choice of words.
Too weird indeed. Words like mummified and abandoned must mean something else where this was written.
Happened in a tropical climate, too. Before mummification a body decomposes and in the heat may actually explode. That body doesn’t look at all like it should. Photoshopping out the details may have occurred, but still — he’s sitting and his head’s still attached. At sea it should have been flopping around a lot and fallen off.
So...not buying this story as written.
Probably trying to get a better deal out of his cable company and died while waiting for the customer service rep in Germany to find someone who actually spoke German.
