for those wondering, i read the article: yes, it makes sense for the body to be there and he wasn’t murdered. he was exploring the area when he fell into a glacier.

[–] baconmonsta@piefed.social 31 points 19 hours ago

There was a hint of a possible motive though: "He was travelling with his brother, Kathiruddin, on horseback on the day he went missing. Police said a family feud had forced the two men to leave their home. " But yeah, seems like a pretty plausible accident.

At the cafes and hostels around any tourist heavy glacier, you'll see fresh posters of missing people.

That's a pretty cool way to die. Ice cold in fact.

He actually survived and was found by 2 high school kids to try to make them popular. Buuudy.

I get the reference!

So the glacier is not thousands of years old and the man did not time travel?

For those wondering...

The body of a man missing for 28 years

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 4 points 20 hours ago

I was definitely wondering how tf he got into one.

Score one for climate change.

So we've got:

  1. A final sense of closure for grieving families.

And,

2.. More access to beachfront properties.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Rising oceans and more frequent, stronger storms kind of negate #2.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

All beachfront property is transient.

[–] eronth@lemmy.world 15 points 17 hours ago

It'll produce a lot more bodies too if it keeps up.

I'm not the only one who am reminded of that south park episode, right?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The South Park episode based on Encino Man.

Which in turn was based on a ton of other movies and stories based on this theme.
