The remains of an American lady, who disappeared on a holiday trip, have been discovered inside the abdomen of a fish, according to the person’s companion.
Colleen Monfore, 68, a retired mother of two from the US state of Michigan, was enjoying holiday — a seven-week jumping trip with her father, Mike — when horror struck on September 26. When she did not resurface, according to Asia Pacific Press, she was reportedly swimming close to the Pulau Reong island off the coast of Indonesia’s Southwest Maluku Regency.
A fisherman spotted a frightened fish and killed it two days after Monfore vanished in the tropical lakes, according to Fox News. The man discovered what is thought to be Monfore’s remains along with her damp coat and bathing suit after opening the whale’s stomach.
Preliminary studies claimed a fish had eaten and killed Monfore, but Kim Sass, Monfore’s friend, believes this theory to be fake.
Sass, who claimed Monfore was her “very good friend,” shared what we know so much about the event and how it is more probable that her companion passed away due to a medical condition during a dive.
A man captured the sharks around October 4, near Timor-Leste, a south Asian region which is 70 miles away from the dive page where Monfore vanished, Monfore’s bones were distinguishable, she added.
” Colleen’s figure was distinguishable. Her fingerprints ( again identifiable ) are being used by our US Embassy and the local government for proof of death”, Sass wrote. If the fish had attacked her months ago, this would not have been feasible.
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources reports that the stomach of a fish “produces an acid that is sturdy enough to break metal” and that “large legs and other inedible objects are prevented from passing through the tummy due to the small size of the beginning in the intestine.”
Sass believes that the almost eight-day difference between Monfore’s departure and the shark’s capture suggests that the fish most likely consumed Monfore after she had already passed away.
” There was a downward present at the turn site, but it was manageable”, she wrote. ” I’ve simply done 1000+ swims with this gracious lady, she was an excellent swimmer. I do n’t think a shark’s death or the environment caused her to end her life, in my opinion.
How specifically Monfore passed away is still undetermined.
