Canoeist resurfaces five years on
Here's an odd one..I wonder where he's been and what made him 'disappear' to begin with and why he has 'reappeared'.

Re: Canoeist resurfaces five years on
I can't help but feel that this could be a nightmare for his family and I wonder how they will deal with his reappearance in their lives, or, how they will they cope if coming 'back from the dead' he decides not to have any contact with them?
His wife was talking about

"All I want is to bury his body. It would enable me to move on. It's difficult to grieve without bringing things to a close, but as it is I'm in limbo and there's nothing I can do."
|
I assume that he has not been missing long enough for him to be declared dead but his wife could have ended her marriage to him and/or made a new life for herself.

Re: Canoeist resurfaces five years on
Guess it puts a new slant on the phrase- don't hold your breath. 
Apologies - couldn't resist that 
Si thee

A canoeist who walked into a police station five years after going missing has no memory of what happened, police have said.
|
How can that happen?

According to the news this morning she has actually got someone else & moved on without the dead (now turned up alive) canoeist.

A bit like the plot of Cast Away with Tom Hanks:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162222/
Good plot but I didn't think much of the film.

Moved away more like, sold 2 houses and run of with the cash to Jamaica, a couple of weeks before he turned up  It's like a very poor, unbelievable film plot

Re: Canoeist resurfaces five years on
I think he has to have been missing 7 years before they can declare him dead.
