This individual was found in the Northern Adriatic Sea, near Italy. No further info. Many times it is difficult to determine the sex of bodies that have been immersed in water. A body in water generally decomposes more slowly due to the colder temperatures as well as the lack of oxygen.
Bodies removed from water show excessive gas production and tissue discoloration, owing to explosive bacterial gas production. The gas causes the bodies to bloat excessively, which can cause an explosion or sudden rupture of the tense abdomen. The pressure may cause the eye globes and tongue to protrude.
