A 14th human foot has washed ashore in Canada, continuing a gruesome mystery that has left law enforcement officials and residents puzzled for over a decade.
The appendage was discovered along the banks of the Salish Sea in British Columbia last Sunday by a man who was walking along the beach of Gabriola Island, The Washington Post reported.
The severed foot, which was clad in a hiking boot, was found lodged in a mass of logs, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.
No other remains have been found and authorities are working on identifying the person to whom the foot belongs.
To date 14 severed feet in various states of decay have been found washed up in British Columbia but there have been five more discovered on the other side of the Salish Sea, in the U.S. state of Washington, Science Alert reported.
Of the 14 feet washed ashore in British Columbia, eight have been identified as belonging to six people, The Washington Post reported.
In December, a man walking his dogs on Jordan River beach came across a foot that was still inside a shoe and attached to part of a leg.
The discoveries have prompted the British Columbia Coroners Service to compile a map that charts exactly where the feet have been found, Vox noted.
In most cases, the feet have been found by civilians and while the ongoing phenomenon has spurred wild theories, authorities are not too concerned.
Instead they believe most of the deaths are related to suicide or accidents and that, in most instances, the feet naturally separated from the body in the process of decomposition, Global News reported.
