    News article below from the BBC - first aired on the 31st , so hopefully not an April fools.
    I can't quite get my head around the final statement...
    "She said there did not appear to be any suspicious circumstances and the coroner had been informed."
    Is it considered normal to find body parts in trees in Hampshire ? Or am I missing something ?

        Unfortunately, people walk into woodlands carrying lengths of rope and hang themselves, and can remain undiscovered for some time.

          I guess the whole thing is rather in-tree-guing.

            He may have had a heart attack and fell down upon an acorn!

            Cheers, Tony.

            Was it a limbless trunk?
            Possibly someone barking mad taking a final bough.

            The tree was on a golf course.
            So the police probably have a fair way to go before they can identify the body.

              I'm sure the police will follow-through with the investigation.
