The Woman was Saved, the Man’s Body, Discovered, from Sharing a Surfboard Together

Tragic, truly!  Off of the Newspapers, translated…

On the first of this month, the woman, Chien and the man, Huang went to the northeaster coast to surf standing up, the two sailed out on one surfboard together, but the wind and the waves were too strong, they both fell off the board, Chien was fished out by the coastguards, but Huang was missing for days on end, on the fifth, his body was, found, he no longer looked anything like he had when he was still alive, and his fingers were, unprintable, the families didn’t dare making a positive identification, and the forensic officials had to go by the injuries he’d sustained from work and the fingerprints they were able to get, sent the records into the criminal investigations department, to positively identify him, and his cause of death was by drowning.

The coastguard’s Aodihai search and rescue squad told, that the search and rescue raft on the first started out patrolling the regions, and found a SUP standing surfboard with no one on top, they’d immediately started searching nearby, found Chien who’d fallen into the waters, and tossed her a flotation device to fish her out of the oceans.

The local police substation investigated, that Huang (age 52) had been missing for multiple days on end, and through the search and rescue from land and via sea, on the fifth, they found a body afloat 111.8 kilometers out from the Taiwanese mountain highway 2, and because the body had been under water for many days, it’d not resembled Huang one bit, the forensics had to do a thorough comparison to the records, and finally, able to get a complete thumb print from the body, to identify the body as Huang, and the families identified him as well.

The district attorney, Lin from the Keelung D.A.’s office, with the coroner, Jiang examined the body two evenings ago, and confirmed that Huang had died from asphyxia from drowning, that there’s no sign of his death being anything but accidental.  They’d suspected that he was knocked off of his surfboard, and washed away by the waves, then drowned.

And so, this is how dangerous the waters are, and in this case, the two of them went out together, but only one came back alive, this still showed, how we need to be very careful, when we go into the waters to swim, to surf, to snorkel, along with do other activities in the waters, because even IF you’re an experienced swimmer, you can still drown, if you’re not careful enough!
