Sad indeed. Those men who fish out there do it for food...not for fun.

Here's an El Vigia article that says the man was alive when they found him. Interesting reference to a living being as a "body."

For those who come from the US, and don't know the ocean well (including me!), take these incidents seriously. I frequently read of fisherman getting lost at sea. A SPOT or satellite phone can help with this.

Point well taken. Just recently, this same area claimed a neighbor who could have afforded a SPOT device, but this latest victim couldn't. He probably had to walk ten miles just to fish for dinner.

Indeed, in my experience many Mex Nationals do not swim,
not that this would have helped this victim, even Panga
drivers MAY not swim, during Santa Semana many Mexicans
flock to the ocean, many never having been in waves,
rips, etc. Yrs. back camping no. of Barra de Navidad on the
mainland helped fish a body out of some narly 8' surf, having been around the ocean my entire life, I would have never
ventured into that water

On some occasions you can determine this from a distance since they'll jump right in wearing all their clothes.
