    I had a feeling that the first body found in the sea, near Mahaut, the person may not have been from the areas, Mahaut or Massacre. I wonder what happened that he drowned?
    No one reported them missing?
    Geneva is near Grand Bay. The other one, is a mystery. What happened to him?
    People should not lose their lives in that manner nor in accidents.
    The autopsies will reveal the cause of both deaths.
    I pray, God had mercy on your souls. Rest in peace, men.

    I find it kind of fishy that no one in the area has been reported missing. Seeing that the body has already decomposing means he has been there a while

      That is common procedure anywhere. Can’t just throw a name out publicly until official identification is made and family members are notified first!
