"It really didn't come up until we had running shoes that floated so well," she said, noting the additions of lighter foam and air pockets. "Before, they just stayed down there at the bottom of the ocean."
Forensic anthropologists working with the coroner have found no signs of trauma.
"There's none that have any suggestion of homicide," said McLintock. "In every case there is an alternate, very reasonable explanation."


so..how many feet are sitting at the bottom of the ocean in older style shoes?

I wonder how they can tell that nothing nefarious happened to the people when they only have the foot to look at?

so very strange.

how can a foot in the water, that's naturally seperated from the body tell through chemistry that a bullet was put into the persons head?

The chemicals produced by fear, pain and other forms of distress.

Not to mention the condition of blood cells showing signs of trauma.

even after its' been in the water for so long though? Is there enough flesh on the foot to examine for those types of hormones?

When we had our house broken into and IHIT came by, the guy said he'd check for prints,but it was unlikely they'd get good ones since the oils in the hands start to decay really fast. the time delay from break in to IHIT's arrival was less then 12 hrs.

Yes. Blood vessels collapse trapping blood in the flesh. Even after a month of hanging to drain, a piece of beef still has oodles of blood as you've seen numerous times when cooking a meal. Same reason people complain about antibiotics or hormones in food meats.

Vernon, B.C.
PORT RENFREW, B.C. -- British Columbia's coroners' service has confirmed that a foot discovered on a Vancouver Island shoreline is in fact human.

A hiker exploring Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew Sunday afternoon came across a running shoe containing a human foot in a sock.

B.C. Coroners Service spokeswoman Barb McLintock says an investigation is underway to determine whose foot it is and the cause of death.
She says so far there is no suspicion of foul play.

This is the 13th foot found washed up on the B.C. coast since 2007.
McLintock says of the 12 previous instances, coroners have been able to identify 10 of the feet, belonging to seven people.


If the god damned foot was found in a running shoe W.T.F. other creature would a sane person presume it belongs to?

they found a shoe stuffed with ham once. Thought it was a human foot. Someone out there just messing with people...so, that's why they can assume it's a human foot until they double check.

Before all this, if I saw a shoe on the beach I'd never in a million years have bothered with it...now I'm gonna be looking at any and all shoes that are not attached to a body.

you know it is strange that the first thing you lose in an accident is your dang shoe. When my cousins and I took the big spill on a white water trip one time I could not find my damn shoe and you wonder how in the hell did your shoe come off.

Blown right out of your shoe. Scary stuff. It's haunting to see a shoe alone on a long road somewhere...you wonder. Who knew there'd be so much power in the image of a shoe.

Like that "I" before "E" rule, except after see which really doesn't work when you're running a feisty heist on a weird foreign neighbour.

Maybe the saying should be changed from "Rules were meant to be broken" to "Rules will be broken, so don't bother with rules". Works with tradition(s) too.

Yeah that was an experience. My cousin who was hanging on for dear life to a tree he latched onto saw my shoe floating by and he told me his first thoughts were, well he's a gonner. All the while I'm down river about fifty yards hanging on to a fukkin rock until my fingernails bled for dear life. LOL. I did get my shoe back thank gawd because we had to walk 6 miles to get help.

Lost my brand new river raft though dangit.
