Mysterious Discovery at Sea
The tale begins with a shocking find when a father and son fishing off the coast of Devon, England, accidentally pull a dead body from the ocean instead of fish. The body is notable for being fully clothed and largely intact, raising immediate suspicions about how it ended up in the water. Initial reactions ranged from disbelief to the practical concerns of the fishermen about losing their catch and income if they reported the discovery. Despite their hesitations, they ultimately choose the ethical path and contact the Coast Guard, setting off a complex investigation tied to the unidentified man.
