German Man's Skeleton Found in Tree Nearly...

This is very bizarre.

Quote~~

A skeleton of a German man who shot and killed himself in a tree has been found by a hiker – nearly 30 years later.

Police said the 69-year-old retiree who had been missing since 1980 tied himself to the tree before firing the gun, Reuters reported.

His remains were discovered after an 18-year-old hiker found a bone in the forest last week and brought it to police, who then searched the area, Reuters reported.

I don't think that I would have picked the bone up.

I'm surprised there were many remains left at all really... that's quite some time.

Suicide is so tragic and to be the one that found the body even that many years later would be so traumatic.
