Body of Adventurer Lost at Sea Found in Mummified State on Drifting Yacht



The mummified body of a German adventurer who was last seen alive in 2009 has been discovered on his yacht off the coast of the Philippines. Two fisherman found the body of Manfred Fritz Bajorat near the radio phone of his 40-foot yacht called Sayo, perhaps poised to make a distress call. Bajorat's cause of death is unknown at this time. 

Also discovered on the yacht was a note that Bajorat wrote to his wife Claudia, who died of cancer in 2010.  The note said,

"Thirty years we're been together on the same path. Then the power of the demons was stronger than the will to live. You're gone. May your soul find its peace. Your Manfred."

The body was mummified due to conditions at sea: salty air, dry winds and hot temperatures.
