Probably the way he would've wanted to go though......these solo sailer guys, see them often up in the sollies. Real loner types who just love the life and hate the idea of being stuck on land somewhere.
It is only my overwhelming natural humility that mars my perfection.

Somewhat surprisingly the autopsy has concluded he died just a week ago

While it's hard to believe that can happen to a body in a week I'm more surprised by the condition of the yacht, it looks like it had been adrift for much longer than that.

The picture looked like the vhf cord was in use i.e. perhaps on the radio to make a call as heart gave out?
