Fisherman in Southwest Harbor hauls up a coffin in net Thursday, June 27, 2002, 9:15 AM Email story to a friend
SOUTHWEST HARBOR (AP) -- A fisherman hauling in his catch Wednesday found something extra in his net: a coffin.
Kyle Archibald of the Coast Guard in Southwest Harbor says it happened at 12:30 in the afternoon. The captain called in and described what appeared to be a coffin: a metal box with handles.
The Coast Guard referred him to the state police, and the state police referred him to the medical examiner's office.
Authorities say the captain was able to identify the funeral home based on markings on the casket, and it was determined that the coffin came from a burial at sea two years ago. It was returned its resting place.
