Parts of a mutilated body have washed up on the sands of Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro just meters from where beach volleyball athletes will compete in the upcoming Olympics.

The discovery is the latest to unnerve the city as it grapples with rising crime, a recession and exhausted state finances at a time when it hoped to be celebrating the first Olympics ever held in South America.

It was unclear Wednesday afternoon what conditions may have led to the mutilated body but a policeman standing guard by a security perimeter confirmed its existence to Reuters.

The 2016 summer games will be interesting to say the least.

And considering how much of the building is incomplete as well as the crime. Should be interesting as you say.

Dont forget the unsanitary awful conditions in the water down there. No way i would swim in that crap.

I heard that a rowing team was practicing on a river and they ran into a couch.

[teacherwoes]

There will be the official and unofficial games in Rio. Wonder which one will get more coverage?

[SkyDancer]

The stories coming out of Rio are sickening.

Survival could become a new Olympic event.

[LostInBayport]

Well that’s a fine how-do-you-do.

[SkyDancer]

The crime scenes are scary. The Olympic village and venues are barely complete and to get from one to the other, well forget it. It’s going to be ciaos and I’m wondering how many athletes will show.

..... Should be interesting to see this year. Wonder if they will have a category for Crime and Corruption? Of course the winners of that category would definitely be the Clinton’s and Obama’s sharing the top spots.
