Human Foot Found In Sasamat Lake, Canada

First Posted: 11/09/11 07:11 PM ET Updated: 11/10/11 09:45 AM ET

The agony of the feet continues in Canada.

British Columbia has been riddled by eight human feet washing ashore in the province and another appendage was found on the shore of Sasamat Lake near Port Moody on Friday, The Vancouver Sun reports.

This is at least the ninth foot discovered in British Columbia since 2007, according to The National Post. By other counts, there have been a dozen feet found.

The case of the mysterious feet has vexed authorities and the public, with details of the latest find differing from its predecessors in two ways, the CBC says.

The ninth foot, found last Friday by a child at a camp, was in a body of fresh water. All the earlier feet, believed to come from six different people, were in saltwater. Unlike the first eight feet, which were inside running shoes, the newest foot was in a hiking boot, media outlets said.

Like the earlier incidents, investigators don't suspect foul play in the latest discovery, The Globe and Mail reports. Medical examiners believe the feet separate from dead bodies due to natural causes.

Could it have to do with the debris from the Japanese tsunami ?

Someone in authority needs to put their foot down and get to the bottom of this problem.

Couldn't it be some crazed hermit chopping off the feet of his victims to keep them from escaping? Maybe I watch to many movies.

The only way this is not foul play, which they are claiming its not, is that a cemetery somewhere is flooded/underwater and cheap coffins have rotted- or are nonexistent- and so the most easily detached body parts are separating due to decomposition, and washing out to sea. The tide/current patterns are bringing them to BC. Shouldnt be that hard to analyze the current flow and check most likely originating spots.

nobody gets buried in a cemetery in RUNNING shoes though, much less hiking boots... This is how Canada maintains it's "low" crime rate- "murder? what murder? we don't suspect foul play.."

Someone needs to give the RCMP a leg up on this investigation! Go toe to toe with suspects and dig in their heels until this is figured out!
