NWI INGO General Post Part 19 - LegOs, Glocks and iPhones!

"The body was discovered by a volunteer who was using a kayak on the river about 300 feet from where the boy was initially reported missing, the police department's Facebook post stated."

How does it take over a week to find him when he is 300 feet from where he came up missing?

Dead bodies do not immediately float. It can take between 12 hours to 12 days BEFORE a body will float.

When a person drowns, the body is filled with water which causes one to sink. As the bacteria eat the body away they produce gases inside the corpse. That gas not having a natural way to escape (burp, farts) will continue to build up inside the corpse, bloating it and causing enough of a buoyancy to make the corpse float.

If enough time passes with no way for the gases to escape the corpse will "explode" as the gas forces it's way out of the rotten weaken flesh that it was enclosed in.

Sadly this family will not get to see the body nor have an open casket for a funeral. The body will be in such a horrible state that no parents should have to see that as the last image of their child.

To add to jedi's science - where they found the body does not mean that body was there the whole time.

I know, but it's not like it went further and then came back. It's just a shame, no matter what.

Merrillville on their FB page listed that kid as still missing.
And stated that a video of him near water was not him.

This morning I saw on WSBT that they thought they had recovered his body.

I will be listing some guns in the classifieds tomorrow. Here is a list if any of you NWI folk want to converse with me before I get them listed:

Ruger EC9S - I have multiple magazines for this, a hogue grip sleeve and a couple of IWB holsters
Ruger 10/22 target, model 01121 -bull barrel, has had an adjustable cheek riser added, comes with 1 mag
Browning BPS 12 gauge field, 1989 manufacture date

All of these are in great working order.

@Snapdragon - uh you are too nice. I didn't mean that it moved on it's own.

Oh God, I am too nice. It didn't even occur to me.

The river does have a current to it. Sometimes it's slow and others times it's not (but not fast). jedi has kayake on it before and it's a beginners river slow and steady most of the time.

Animals both sea and air could have been poking at the body causing it to move from where it first entered the river. There is lots of tall water plants in this area as well great for hiding and for large birds to make nest in.

Not going to belabor this beyond this post, but if he entered the river of his own accord, it seems that he would have remained somewhere between where he entered and where he was found. Not beyond that 300 ft and then washed back the other way.

No prayers sent as that does nothing.

Would've been nice to have the boy returned safely but that's just life, ain't no prayer gunna do anything now

Wait?? Are you thinking that foul play was involved?

I walk in the shanty at 7:05 today. Dbag2, who called off on me Monday and came in late yesterday so he could get his beauty sleep says to me "It's about time"

It didn't occur to me, but Marvin alluded to it.

I feel so worthy, getting double quoted.

Yup. the people that are late all the time, are the ones that complain the most when it happens to them.

The prayers aren't for the dead.
They're for the living.

Something about opening a Dam downstream that lowered the Water Level about 5 feet ... Kayaker reported only part of body visible ... Police used a Drone to confirm

I am not a believer, but if belief and prayer help others get through situations like this I try to respect that. Let them have the comfort it brings them whether I get the same comfort or not.

Those left behind each have to find the way to cope that helps them. I hope I do not out live my children or grand children because I never want to need to cope with that kind of loss. No one can know how bad it is who hasn't experienced it.
