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.''

Sorry, I can't find any humor in this. It's a sign of our times that life is not worth much any more. She might have been a wife, daughter, mother, etc. The same way we accept abortion, we now joke about the severed head of some woman. Extremely sad. God Rest Her Soul.

i suppose you think death is evil too... dont worry about it, she may have been a wife, but chances are it was a husband who killed her in that case, shes better off where he cant hurt her. and if it wasnt, oh well, we all gotta go someday... we cant choose the time or the way, so why not choose our attitude towards it? you cant be depressed about something you can laugh at, and why be depressed about something so permanent? ITS JUST DEATH!
