Human foot discovered on the BC coast

PORT RENFREW (NEWS 1130) — Another human foot has been found on the BC coast, this time at a beach south of Vancouver Island’s Port Renfrew.

The BC Coroner’s office confirms the detached foot belongs to a human and is likely not a hoax.

It was found with a sock and running shoe Sunday by a family visiting Botanical Beach.

About a dozen feet have appeared on BC shores since 2007.

Barb McLintock with the coroner’s office says this discovery is somewhat unique as most of the feet in the past have been found on the inside coast.

“So now we’re going on to do the next round of work which is basically trying to identify obviously who this foot might have belonged to,” she says.

Regional coroner Matt Brown says they believe the shoe is a late 2012 model so they will be focusing on missing persons data between March 2013 and December 2015.

“One of the things, given the area where the foot was found, it’s really hard to say where it came from, meaning did it come from someone local, did it come from the US?”

At this point foul play is not suspected.
