Another foot found

Running shoe containing human remains washes up in B.C.

Police are investigating the discovery of a human foot inside a shoe that washed up on the shore in Richmond, just south of Vancouver. Two men walking along a beach found the size eight and a half sneaker, which is the seventh shoe containing human remains found on the southern coast of B.C. since 2007. Police say there is no evidence of foul play in the other cases, and that a natural process separated the remains from the bodies. They’re currently working with coroners, and forensic pathologists and anthropologists to identify the remains.
