Mystery Salish Sea foot mystery

Couldn't see anything posted about this, apologies if it already exists.

An 18th severed foot attached to a shoe has washed up in British Columbia

Severed feet encased in trainers have been mysteriously washing up along the coast of the Salish Sea between Canada and the US for the past decade, generating countless theories but no definitive answers.

Now the phenomenon is back in the headlines with the discovery of yet another disembodied foot — the 18th since 2007.

Many are not buying the official line - that foul play is not suspected and the feet likely belong to victims of accidents or suicide. Over to you, BF sleuths!

Why would this phenomenon be unique to Canada if it were simply the result of suicides? There would be similar suicides all over the world. Having said that, there would also be bodies dumped at sea all over the world.

And why only feet? What happened to the rest of the bodies?

Could currents be taking feet//bodies from further south where there may be gang violence?

Vancouver Island would appear to make that unlikely.

Direction of sea currents that line up with suicide points which allows body parts to be pushed in that particular direction. Sneakers protect the feet and thats what washes up the rest of the body gets consumed.

That or someone really hates feet.

Feet are generally the first thing that seperate from the corpse in the ocean.
Second thing is the head.

The feet are contained within a flotation device.

Just kidding - I’ll go with the suicide and rest of body consumed angle too

A 14th human foot - this one in a hiking boot - washes ashore in Canada

Like nearly all of the 13 human feet that had mysteriously washed up on Canadian shores before it, the 14th foot appeared, unexpectedly, on the banks of the Salish Sea in British Columbia.

This time, a man walking the beach on Gabriola Island discovered the appendage last Sunday afternoon, trapped in a mass of logs, according to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

I wondered if this had something to do with China rounding up undesirables and harvesting their organs, then dumping their body parts at sea. I only thought that because I have a brother in law in the navy who told me that our ships sometimes suck in body parts - usually feet when moving through chinese waters. That and its fairly well known that thats what China is doing.

Fairly well known? Sources?

And FWIW I think there’s something sinister afoot here.

Too far north/cold for lots of sharks, and lots of Orca in the area that eat them/scare them off, means bodies stay in water long enough for feet to break off.

But bodies from where?

boots/shoes are buoyant protect the feet from predation/decomposition.

People killing themselves. You ever been to Vancouver? Lots of bridges.

Sharks dislike feet?
