This is the mummified body of a German adventurer who was found dead drifting on his abandoned yacht at the weekend off the coast of southern Philippines.

Manfred Fritz Bajorat, 59, was discovered by two fishermen aboard his yacht in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Barobo town in Surigao del Sur.

His body was sitting near to the radio telephone as if he was trying one last desperate Mayday call to save himself when he died.

Too weird.

Heart attack? Spontaneous death due to global warming?

“German adventurer who was found dead drifting on his abandoned yacht”

How could the yacht be abandoned it he was still on board?

Manfred technically did not abandon his yacht, per se. ;-)

Thanks, save me the post. Though I would have been a bit more pithy.

I don't always leave my mummified body drifting at sea.
But when I do, it's in a nice yacht.

If you predicted his future to him - you will die peacefully on your yacht while sailing the world, he would probably be very happy to hear it.

Seems like with decomposition, his last communication and his last port, they could determine approximately how long he has been dead.

The note to the deceased wife that Manfred wrote makes me think this may have been suicide.

So he died and then left the yacht? No?

Well then, the yacht wasn't abandoned, was it?

Perhaps the word abandonment pertains only to the living?
