13th foot washes ashore in British Columbia
BY STEPHANIE KLEIN, MyNorthwest.com Editor | February 11, 2016 @ 8:41 am

A coroner has confirmed that a foot that washed ashore in British Columbia is indeed human.

A hiker discovered the foot on Sunday near Port Renfrew, according to the Vancouver Sun. The foot was inside a running shoe and sock.

It's the 13th foot found on the British Columbia shore since 2007.

Investigators say, so far, there is no suspicion of foul play.

Ten of the previous discoveries, belonging to seven people, have been identified, according to investigators.

Bodies decompose. Feet still have shoes on them. Soles are buoyant. /fin

Feet separated from the body from which they were formerly attached are a common occurrence...nothing unusual at all.

I believe that the poll revealed that many legs are not washed. Onshore or off.

I've read about this before. Apparently the ankles are a weak spot in terms of body decay, so it's to be expected that they'll eventually separate if a body is floating around and decomposing. And then as mentioned earlier, they'll float because of the shoes.

It would interesting to see DNA tests on each foot, where are they from?

Any genetic similarities?

Currents and there are lots of islands at the mouth of Puget Sound to alter currents. The shoes and feet don't decompose as fast as the rest of the body, they float, and the ankle detaches easily.

British Columbia is a beautiful place to visit. It is also a dangerous place as well. I am currently writing my third novel which takes place in this location. It is a murder mystery surrounding the Highway of Tears cases.

As far as the feet -could be fishermen that have been lost at sea. There are also several active serial killers in B.C.

It has been happening for before that. They believe it is suicides and people that drowned.
