Hanuman pendant (Taiwan News)
Image of a chain carrying a depiction of Hanuman in the pendant hit Taiwanese news and social media earlier today. Taiwanese media says that the Navy found the chain on the body of a man drifting off the coast of Taitung County (July 2).
This report says that a Navy vessel located the body while on a routine mission. The Navy alerted the Coast Guard. No ID was found as per the report.
The report says:
The dead person was a male, 1.80 meters tall, but because he had been in the water for a considerable time and was not carrying any ID, it was difficult to identify him, officials said...
The report mentions that pendant might lead to the identification of a man who was wearing the gold chain.
Officials have made estimates that the body has remain in the ocean for several days.
It might have drifted up from the Philippines north to the area off the Hengchun Peninsula and further to Changbin, though it was also possible that the man fell into the water closer to Taiwan and was carried north by the Kuroshio Current or black tide.
