A 6th human foot found on Canada's Pacific coast

Updated: 2008-06-19 14:11 The first three feet washed ashore about 40 miles southwest of Vancouver on islands in the Strait of Georgia. The first foot was discovered last summer by beachcombers. Days later, a foot was found inside a man's Reebok sneaker. The remains of a third right foot were found Feb 8. The fourth foot was found May 22 on Kirkland Island in the Fraser River, about 15 miles south of Vancouver. About a mile away, the fifth foot -- and only left foot, was discovered Monday morning floating in water off Westham Island. Local speculation has been rife with some reports claiming they belonged to victims of violent crimes or a plane crash. Tresoor said major crime investigators from the Campbell River detachment, along with staff from the coroner's office, were investigating at the scene. "The object will ultimately be examined by a forensic pathologist in attempts to determine the source of the foot and if it is related to other feet recently found," Tresoor said in a statement. |
