Fisherman Reels In Human Head FBI Investigating Discovery Posted: 8:59 a.m. EDT August 26, 2002 Updated: 12:21 p.m. EDT August 26, 2002

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A Fort Pierce man out fishing with his son and a friend made a gruesome discovery in the waters of the Atlantic: a human head. Paul Trabulsy found the dismembered body part about 22 miles east of Fort Pierce Inlet.

The men used a gaff to fish the head out of the water and placed it in a garbage bag. Then they kept right on fishing.

"We didn't want to come in right away, so we just put it in a bag in a bucket. It'd been out there awhile. What's a couple of hours?" Trabulsy said.

The men docked and reported their discovery to the authorities about five hours later.

Federal and local authorities are investigating the origin of other human remains and a body found miles apart in the waters off Florida's east coast, officials said Sunday.

A body was found in the waters off Cape Canaveral Saturday, Russell said.

Medical examiners in Brevard and Martin counties took possession of the remains in an effort to identify them. It has been determined that the remains of one of the dead belonged to a female, Russell said.

"We have no way to correlate right now where these remains may have come from,'' Russell said. "We have multiple search and rescue cases every day.''

Russell said the Coast Guard was searching Sunday for one overdue vessel that may have come from Cuba with migrants aboard, but stressed that it was too early to know whether the discovery of the remains was connected to the fate of those aboard the missing boat.

FBI Miami spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said agents were investigating but had no additional details on the case.

"We have reports that people are missing from Cuba,'' Orihuela said. "We're just looking into it right now.''

Golfers do it too:

A guy comes home and his wife meets him at the door. "So how'd the game go, honey?"

"Bad news, dear - Bob had a heart attack on the 11th hole."

"How awful!"

"Yeah, it was. Hit a shot, drag Bob, hit a shot, drag Bob..."

So what's a few hours' delay?

Well if they packed it in ice and rushed it to the hospital, the surgeons may have been able to reattach it.

This may seem unreasonable to people who don't go fishing, but if you're 22 miles out and they're biting, then the severed head can wait a few hours...

Depends on what else they caught.

I should stop... as a compassionate person, I feel sorry for the poor head, so sad and lonely with no body to call it's own...

Obviously the head's name is Bob.

Oh, Bob..My Chum!

The rest of him was covered with these good-sized lobstehs. So we took em off, and set him out again....
