Parts Found in Shark Identified - Updated

(Bahamas) From Telegraph.co.uk, the body of a sailor whose parts were found inside a tiger shark tummy has been identified.

Police in the Bahamas used fingerprints to identify Judson Newton, although they are still waiting for DNA test results.

It is unclear if the 43-year-old Mr Newton was alive when he was eaten.

Mr Newton went on a boating trip with friends off Jaws Beach, where Jaws: The Revenge was filmed, on August 29.

The group, who were fishing off New Providence Island, encountered engine trouble and called for help.

Rescuers found three men aboard who said that Mr Newton and a friend jumped into the water to try to swim back to shore. Officials launched a search for them, but neither was found.

Condolences to the families.

Human Parts Found in Shark
[Previous 9/10/10 post]
(Bahamas) Human remains were found in the stomach of a 12-foot tiger shark caught Tuesday off Exuma Island in the Bahamas.

DNA testing is being performed on two legs, two arms and a torso to determine who the parts came from.

According to Assistant Police Commissioner Glenn Miller,

At least two people have been reported missing recently on the archipelago. He also didn't rule out the possibility that the remains are those of an impoverished refugee whose boat might have capsized during a risky sea journey to Florida.

One source said the remains were those of a man. It's not known whether the person was dead or alive when consumed.
