It seems not all things are lost at sea forever, as an adventurer has been discovered after last being seen in 2009 — and he was found completely mummified.
It is not clear yet how Manfred Fritz Bajorat died at sea, but his mummified body, which was found by two fisherman in a yacht off the coast of the Philippines, was found near the radio telephone, perhaps attempting to make a mayday call. The two fisherman also noticed that most of the yacht cabin was underwater.
Bajorat’s body was preserved mostly due to the salty air, dry ocean winds and hot temperatures.
Take a look at Bajorat’s mummified body below, but heads up, some people may find this disturbing:
Police are investigating in hopes to learn how exactly Bajorat died.
