A fifth human foot in a year has washed ashore
off the coast of British Columbia, and this time it's a left one.
Police said two people out for a walk spotted the left foot floating in
water off Westham Island on Monday morning. Delta Police Const.
Sharlene Brooks said officials are working with the B.C. Coroner's
office to see if this foot is linked to any other partial remains
recovered in the province.
Westham Island is at the mouth of the Fraser River, about 15 miles south of Vancouver.
"A passerby
noticed a shoe floating in the water, pulled it in and notified
police," Brooks said. "We're treating it as a criminal investigation.”
While the similarities to the other found feet are strong, she said
there's no indication
this foot is related to the other cases. The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police has said there's no evidence the feet were severed or removed
from the victims' legs by force.
Curtis Ebbesmeyer, an oceanographer based in Seattle, Wash., said when a human body is submerged in the ocean, the main parts like arms, legs, hands, feet and the head are usually what come off the body.
