A German adventurer was found by Philippine fishermen on February 26th 2016, mummified in his own boat. The body was identified as Manfred Fritz Bajorat who was listed as a missing person in 2009.
The boat was spotted on January 31st 2016 by a crew member of a yacht race and reported to the US coast guard due to the mast of the boat being broken.
Mummification[]
It was determined that the ocean winds, hot temperatures, and salty air preserved the body.
Studies[]
Autopsy results show that the 59 year old suffered from a heart attack near the radio telephone.
Additional[]
The purpose of the sailing trip was initially a tribute to his late wife Claudia Bajorat who passed in 2008 from cancer.
