The Mystery of Park Chang's Son's Death

The body that was believed to be Park Chang's son was returned to his village almost a week after the death. An urgent general appeal was disseminated by the Japanese military, urging anyone with missing teenage relatives to come forward. The most likely explanation for this case seems to be that, in her grief, Park Chang Su's mother simply misidentified an extremely mutilated body. But then again, how often does the mother not recognize her child? Some say mother and child have an almost preternatural connection, one that often defies conventional wisdom or commonly accepted science. This is starting to sound like an episode of the Twilight Zone, so I'll refrain from going down such a spurious rabbit hole
