To: dead

Amazing the body could have survived in water intact for that length of time.

Actually, it didn't survive that long. It was dead all that time. Arrrg! :)

Maybe it was frozen in a glacier or sumthin.

I've seen pictures, it was really more in the sand.

I would think that would be a pretty good preserver of bones.

And in fairness to the cops, I would think Carbon-14 dating is not in the standard test kit.

Not everyone trusts radiocarbon dating methods. To be under the water, just below the tideline, for 500 years, and to look "good as new" seems a little hard to believe.

Maybe the body just got loose from a peat bog or deep mud where it has been kept preserved. Good grief. At this rate perhaps someday a dino will wash up in South Beach.
