Northumberland / a bit grizly
« on: Wednesday 29 July 09 15:24 BST (UK)  »
I found the death of my great grandfather who was found drowned in a river.  I also found a headline in evening chronicle stating 'Man's body found in River Tyne'.  part of the article described his height and what he was wearing and also the grizly fact that his left hand was missing.  He had lost his wife the year before to kidney failure.  He was reported missing one day a found the next.  The article stated that his body was in advanced decomposed.  Question I'm asking is would it be possible for one hand just to disappear through decomposition?  I dont know where to go to find out.

Thanks and sorry for gory details.
