Never Found the Body: Difference between revisions

Line 397:
* Roald Amundsen, and the other passengers of the disappeared plane he was on.
* Percy Fawcett went into the Brazilian wilderness with his son and his son's best friend looking for a [[Lost World]]. Like Earhart he got something of an Elvis legend with his fanclub. Unlike her Fawcett had the fact that he could be termed [[Understatement|"odd"]] or less kindly, completely bonkers to give his disappearance added zest. Naturally it is assumed that something interesting happened even though skeptics might say he just died of fever like most people who die on the trail in the tropics. And there is no particular reason for the body to be found as the jungle is a pretty big place and Fawcett was going off the main routes.
* Harold Godwinson, the last [[Anglo-Saxons|Anglo Saxon King]] is a [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig-Zag.]] There were all sorts of accounts of what happened to him. The best that can be determined is that he was mauled unrecognizably and then stripped naked by looters. According to theone romantic and gruesome legend his grieving lover, Edith Swanneck was [[Kick the Dog|forced to identify]] the remains by his killers by means of using "private" marks (presumably right in front of irreverent Normans). Then he was supposedly buried under a pile of rocks by the sea instead of a Churchyard, so [[Insult Backfire]] |it could be said]] that his ghost forever after watched England in death in case more enemies came. That is just one of the tales. There are several other tales one including the possibility that he ''survived'' and became a monk or a hermit.
* Azaria Chamberlain, in Australia.
* [[wikipedia:Henry Hudson|Henry Hudson]] was cast adrift by his mutinous crew, never to be seen again.
