The mummified remains of Manfred Fritz Bajorat, 59, was found on board a yacht that was adrift at sea “for years”.
The mummified body was found slumped in a sitting position at the controls of a radio and navigation desk inside the cabin.
Dr. Mark Benecke, a forensic criminologist who didn’t examine the body, told German tabloid BILD, “The way he is sitting seems to indicate that death was unexpected, perhaps from a heart attack.”
Bajorat was last seen or heard from in 2009, the NY Post reports.
Fishermen found the yacht drifting in the Philippine Sea about 60 miles from Barabo on Thursday.
Bajorat began his travels with his wife in 2008, but the couple split up in 2009. She later died of cancer.
Inspector Mark Navales said there was no sign of foul play or any signs of a second person on board the yacht.
“It is still a mystery to us,” said Navales.
I could have done without the photo of him dead though
Ashes to ashes dust to dust!
Oh!!! This is creepy!! He was a nice looking guy.
Um…RIP….that’s all I got on this.
One could deem this photo disrespectful to his family regardless of how fascinating this story and picture may be to others. Interesting.
Did we really need the visual, Sandra???Seriously?????
IT’s a mystery, what part of world was he found him, he just floating out there….No coast guard, no maritime international vessel police, not even a durn pirate found him for years. SUSPECT
Hope his family has a sense of “peace” but don’t sound like they was looking for him.
Somehow, this made it to the blog, but not the story I sent to Sandra re: Hakeem Carter that The Adovcate felt deserved attention.
Lord…
God rest his soul Why he had to be dabbing though? lol I know I’m going to hell
This is an interesting story.
What in the hamburger….
You say he dabbed on St. Peter on his way in the pearly gates? ?
You ain’t finna drag be there with you, because I almost cracked a smile when I read your comment. I can’t…
I was wondering that too, where he was found. Hard to believe no one noticed his vessel before now.
Lol I love cats
Checks email again…. Nope. Don’t see it.
That is so interesting! Sad way to go (alone), but he died doing what he loved.
Very!
If the world is flat why the fukk dude up top, ain’t sail off then he been out there in water for 7 years?
Where the hell is B.o.B? Nigga better have the answers
This man is dead, this is the best you can say?
Just messing, Just wanted to pick on someone. HUGS
Pearly Gates, this is this the best you can say he went to heaven, say you feel sorry for him and he no one to dab with.
Once again I’m just messing. MAUH
NOPE. Don’t see it.
Not sure why, but that made me laugh.
Isn’t this the darnedest? This is how you know “the others” or sailing dope all around the world “unseen”
He never bump into no ships, wreck or nothing for 7 WHOLE years.
Google tells me there’s a man by that name missing…Is this the story Ye speaketh?
Sent again.
Matter of Fact what is the condition of boat? This is getting fishy by the minute.
Lol
This shyt! A storm off the NC coast just fugged a huge cruise ship UP!! Yet this fella goes to meet Jesus while dabbing. No hard waves shook his ass over? He a damn skeleton!
No. He isn’t missing. He was shot multiple times and left for dead, but through God’s grace, he survived and is trying to rebuild his life at the age of 25.
If you use IG his handle is @iamhakeemcarter. The link to his feature in The Advocate is on his page. Powerful story.
Ohhhh, so you don’t be gettin em sometimes? *re submits morning glory consideration fotos*??
May he rest in peacefully now that he is found so they can inter him.
Lets not forget in the Pacific Rim they have TYPHOONS. I’ve seen cars tossed trucks in our concrete building tossed like rag dolls in a typhoon
I can’t even go get on the casino boat in Myrtle Beach without Dramamine the damn water so choppy. My uncles and brother in law, all Navy men, will be getting some questions bout this here chit soon.
Sidebar: Per PZ Feed, Bill O’Reilly lost custody of his children after an alleged domestic violence incident. Perhaps a suspension from his show will follow, if not an expulsion.
Stay tuned.
You and that damn cat are both officially my spirit animal CTFU!!
What happened to the “WARNING…GRAPHIC IMAGES AHEAD” ? (turns lip)…. Btw, this dude been dead for years and his hair still managed to look better than Trumps. #thinlippedazz
Well, if Harper Lee can live on the white people side of Mobile where it snows, then he can float in white people water that’s eternally calm. ???
His boat was tied up somewhere and recently set free to found a drift for 7 years. That’s my crackpot theory. Slams gavel
He’s not going anywhere. They won’t even mention it. Watch. ?
I can believe it.
Ok. This. My uncle still like hell to the fukk no it ain’t snow in Mobile in the early 60s. He is adamant.
Said the same thing, he has a thick mane.
@letyoursoulglow:disqus – At least not on that network
Well, it is public information now. I get what you’re saying, though.
Has it snowed there EVER?! I mean, come on!
Hell he was fukkin Superhead. White folks still don’t eem know who she is.
Oh, yeah, it will be the elephant in the room, but they’ll paint that sucker blue and ignore it. Even outside of his on air antics, as a man he seems rather violent and no child should be around that.
Ehhh, it’s late. GOOD NIGHT
Mz Whang, you are in my thoughts if you show up later. You and family in my prayers.
No man or sane woman. He is either hitting the sauce or snorting something, which makes him even more erratic than he already is.
It has. Not in the first 15 years of my daddy nem life though. Folks buy coats in the bayou, and keep them til they get moths or too small. My grandmother had 3 coats. My whole damn LIFE. A lot of raincoats due to hurricanes and heavy rains. But coats? 3.
Nope, not a peep! But I’d be interested to see if any of the other cable shows give it a mention. This being election season, his bad parenting isn’t as hot a topic as it would have been this time last year.
Truly, I think he’s doing both.
I thought that was Maher his ole azz too Sis?
I loathe him.
I wouldn’t be surprised. He needs to be shown the Pat O’Brien exit.
Ditto!
Idk..Bill O’Reilly for sure too tho?
Oh wow lol I should not be surprised though.
I wouldnt doubt it. Some of em be having raging addictions. Journalism. Writers. It’s a creative type like artists, musicians etc.
David Carr was saddest story of last year. Brilliant ass columnist. Lifelong crackhead. Dead at like 57 I think.
Welp goodnight for I have 29% myself too murch at Target I’se tired now. Sleep well yall.
Lifelong… Wow. That’s tragic.
Since he was out of college. Sad AF man. They are so smart. Journalists have to know a little bit about EVERYTHING. It’s like they trying to keep it all together and drugs the answer for some of em. I know a few drug heads in the biz.
IDK if it’s a coping mechanism because of what they see, or they have “disposable” income and that’s part of the culture of being a journalist.
I laughed, I am so wrong….but u my friend are dead wrong
Newspaper and most of the regular Joe Schmo TV journalists? Broke AF. Unless you do a big column. Or in a big viewing market. Both of those require years in. I used to do payroll for newsroom. One of my many hats. Some of them got 2-3 degrees making 35-40k out here. I told one stuck up one, fool the chick over there answering the newsroom phone, makes than you do by going to crime scenes interviewing folks. Stop your prima donna shyt. It’s why they have more DUIs etc. All they can afford. Lady anchor in ATL comes to mind.
Why didn’t the boat sink?
Damn. That’s all they make?!. Now I see why some people I assumed made good coin would question me about my occupation. Interesting.
This is why I switched my major. Started out doing investigative journalism. The job market was bad ten years ago can’t imagine how it is now.
Yes ma’am. Why I say BMJ is a crock of chit.?
But hey Mary Jane could freelance on side. A lot teach. Like she did. A la Melissa Perry Harris. AND Mary Jane is what? An alky.
Why I told my niece who came home declaring herself a journalism major? Lil heffa. Carry your ass back til you change your major homegirl. I didn’t sell plates and wash cars for you to be a damn journalism major
????
Sleep well backatcha?? and may the Cherokee active wear force be with you??
I been gone from the paper for 7. So yes. 10 years ago was bad real bad Michael Jackson. I started off a recruiting associate for newsroom operations. But about 2004? Wont no more job fairs. Or Open assignment slots .There was nobody to recruit!
He is a known pill popper.
Lol goodnight ?
I giggled like a pansie in a steam room when I read the kids testified they didn’t want to live with him? As I told @SandraRose last night, republicans are hypocritical kumquats…Can you imagine how angrily he would rip into a progressive entertainer who assaulted his wife? Soooooo phoney. They tell us how we’re supposed to live, who were supposed to worship, what we’re supposed to do,,,All whilst buying bussy off rentboy? A mess, remember Limbaugh tearing into Whitney after her Sawyer interview? Calling her a crackhead, only to be busted buying dope his damn self,,,Man? I woulda never known Sandra was gay the way she goes in…But, it’s the conservative way?? The car salesman who died during the test drive…His family refuses to forgive the driver,,,I’d feel the same?? However, the deceased was all on Facebook preaching conservatism, folks needed to forget the past (slavery), Christianity,,,They’re always preaching, but not abiding?
Lol
lol It was just a lil jokey joke I’m glad they found him now his family can lay him to rest in peace & hopefully this comment redeems my 1st comment
Girl, don’t listen to booboo licky? Taint neva hurd no ish about Sup and Oriely…Although? Oriely and Maher are good friends?? Despite their so called conflicting views?? Ummmhmmm, I wouldn’t put it past the 3 of them sexin…Im sure Oriely has seen Maher’s alleged lrg peen,,,And not in a masculine we played sports together way??
C9
Wow, very intriguing! I wonder what kept his body intact. I’ve watched shows where they test remains in different elements to show how it can effect they way the a body can decompose.
And a ho. But she is a really pretty ho who gets some premium dick, save for that ugly white man she was allowing to smang. Lol
Sandra ,why? Why! Why ! WHY! ? The dusty mummy caught me off guard.
Not all are preaching and not abiding, but some are. As always, what’s done in the dark WILL come to light. That’s why folks should mind how they maneuver, because they will most assuredly reap what they sow.
Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly, amonst many of these Republican faux-Conservatives are hypocrites, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with Christianity or their faith. That’s a reflection of their character as the flawed humans they are. No true Christian uses the Word/Bible as a justification for foolery, but rather a how-to guide for daily living.
Keep in mind, too, that when people are constantly pointing out others’ shortcomings and transgressions, they’re doing so to deflect from their deficiencies, which are oft vast in number.
As my mom always told me, “Consider the source.” I do, early and often, so when people make derogatory comments about me or others, I hit them with, “If I was you, I’d hate me to.” I said that prior to Lil’ Kim, but I’ll give my sister in Christ credit for popularizing it because her platform is greater than mine.
“It’s a creative type like artists, musicians etc.”
??Didn’t you catch feelings when I lumped entertainment together the other night? You ashy as fvkk!??
Why didn’t it sink? No one was sailing it or maintaining it, so why didn’t the sea swallow it whole? Why didn’t a shark eat him?
She was with Maher I know as they were a couple lol but I wouldn’t put ish past her or O’Reilly.
“Keep in mind, too, that when people are constantly pointing out others’ shortcomings and transgressions, they’re doing so to deflect from their deficiencies, which are oft vast in number”
Well damn damn Jamerio, come through??
Like when he stick it in the wrong hole, I hear ya girl???
Yeah he loves filthy Black women? As did Donald Sterling?? He also loves his conservative buddies who’s ideology he supposedly loathes?? I don’t trust that Maher feller??
I know more people who don’t comprehend the fact that the finger they point at others, can be and should be turned around and pointed at them. We have joints for a reason. ???
Rather than people concerning themselves with what the next person is doing, they need to handle their own scandal and do what they know is right. That requires accountability and responsibility, and most people won’t devote the time, effort and energy it takes to better themselves. That takes too much work and discipline.
That’s where we extend prayers, well wishes and ask God for that hedge of protection over us. I don’t wear a Hamsa, but I know how to shield myself and my loved ones from that old evil eye. I know you do, too.
I’m willing to bet the humidity and being out at sea where there are no flies to lay larvae that turn into maggots and eat the decaying flesh.
I like Maher but love Stewart more. I feel you though Bren.
I knew I saw you ? through my window this morning. I thought it was -0.00% aka bathhouse peeper but his usual wet dog stench wasn’t around.
“We have joints for a reason”
You better stop! Stop it right now! I will not be taken to sermon on this here leap day??? “but I know to shield myself and my loved ones…” *waves church fan*??
Noooooooo? I saw him getting roasted on t m z the other day…Honestly, don’t shoot me now…But, it made me view him differently? That’s a sad, lonely individual who feeds off the attention he gets online,,,Attention he can’t get offline…Its kinda sad…Don’t get me wrong, I’m still team phukk dat bish! However, idk…Maybe after I’m done praying for the powerball, and only after it comes to fruition?? I’ll redirect my prayers to him? Maybe??
The day you redirect your prayers, I will have you committed and take your fortune for myself.
Ugh. Gross. RIP tho.
???
How was it adrift all these years and not ONE soul saw it?! This is all too suspect to me *gets my Jessica Lansbury on* ?
Just wrote the same thing, too suspicious *rubs my chin*
You can say they are entertainers all you want. I wont agree. Not real live writers and journalists. Hey. In return, I can say, I never heard Zora Neale Hurston or the like called an entertainer. These folks don’t want to be thought of as that. It’s a reason Alice Walker cringed when she was asked for her book to be turned into a movie. It’s a reason Harper Lee went into hiding after the movie adaptation of her prized work. She was perfectly good when it was a book? Wonder why.? Reading is entertainment.
The craft of writing and journalism is not however.
Alice wasn’t sure a White man could bring her book to life…You basically said what I said yesterday…Entertainment…Arts…But, whatever…You sir, are Ashy! Good day??
I believe this. Worked in publishing right out of college and I used to say the same thing about that industry. Lot of smart people, all got degrees, but unless you were a very senior editor at one of the pub houses that made the best sellers, your salary wasn’t chit. And I was in academic publishing where you really had to love what you did to work for those peanuts. I wanted to stick it out, but Sallie Mae determined that was a lie. I lasted 2 years then quickly made my way over to a different industry.
Say what now? Serves his sour rancid pickle sharing, crusty mangy dirty booty right. Redirect your prayers and I will cut your curl off, take your money and run away with THOT.
Staaaaaawp?????
That quick cat nap was the nap of a lifetime. No seriously. IJS
Bill Maher was with Superhead, not Bill O’Reilly. Bill Maher is always with a Black woman.
Stench….love it
Just pray for two wins…then maybe
What Ms. SANDRA SAID. Plus, since he was on yavht ut was probably well constructed. Family may resale it, heck it withstood, more than the skippers boat.
Just messing with you, some nitwit said that to me. YOU goodt. Welcome to the blog….if you are new.
Wow.. That eye, though.. I can’t stop looking. It’s creepy, yet fascinating.
Relisha Rudd has been missing for 2 years today. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers for her safe recovery.
Please update with their commentary because that dog ain’t huntin for me either with this story.?
Good Morning – Sandra Rose and Family
Dubb whats happening in 919/252…
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/29/us/raleigh-police-shooting/index.html
It never stops
Ugh, that picture, how macabre! I hope they asked permission of the family before posting that, I would be livid!
My thoughts exactly, and how in the hell can a yacht be adrift for years and not even wreck into ANYTHING, another yacht, iceberg, rocks, pier, etc…?
Our black female police chief has a mess on her hands.
Talk about creepy sheesh
I can only imagine the smell as they climbed aboard.
Or why didn’t a shark or something get him?
Because a shark can’t climb aboard a yacht… O_o
Inspector Mark Navales said there was no sign of foul play or any signs of a second person on board the yacht. Someone could have injected air into his veins. It’s not like they could tell from that state of decomp.
How would they be able to notice any signs of foul play after YEARS of sailing tho? *scratches head*
LMAO.
Whats your take on this. She seems over whelmed. The community is pizzed from vid. hope she can bring some peace, before Feds swoop in.
Exactly. I can see them ruling out blunt force trauma, but there are so many ways to kill someone…at least that’s what I heard.
Thats what you heard……
Yup. word on the street & such. Poisoned, smothered, starved. lol
My take? I’m totally and completely desensitized. Regular readers of this blog comments section will recall that in Jan 2014, DubFam lost a young man. My then 22 yo first cousin. To the hands of a club owner who was a former cop. Shot him in the back of the leg. Nothing was done. Rich was allowed to go on and continue to run his fukked up establishment. Nigga barely even lost his right to sale liquor. So all of that to say? Raleigh streets been fukked up at the hands of police. They take care of their own. White and black. RIP Akil.
LMFAO… omg i choked on my green tea latte thank you for this.
Wow, I wonder what preserved his body into mummification…
lol Girl yes, I wasn’t even in uni then so you know by the time I even got into the school things were fugged all the way up.
Good Morning Roses!
This is fascinating.
That’s sad. Sorry for your family’s loss.
Thanks. It’s not a secret that I said then, it would happen once more.
AGREED. MORNING!
Yes creepy!! I wonder if anyone was ever looking for him?????smh
Welp ya comment just made me spit coffee on my keyboard & monitor…Good Mawnin lol
I NEVER WANTED A TRUE “DUST TO DUST” VISUAL…-SHUDDERS-
“Rather than people concerning themselves with what the next person is doing, they need to handle their own scandal and do what they know is right. That requires accountability and responsibility, and most people won’t devote the time, effort and energy it takes to better themselves. That takes too much work and discipline.”
–
WHICH IS WHY I’M IN A CONSTANT STORM…
IF THERE WAS A CHECK TO GET – SUPERHEAD MOST DEFINITELY TOOK ADVANTAGE.
The waters were that calm in his first few months that he didn’t fall over? Ummmm I find this to be kind of suspect. I’ve sailed on all size ships and the waters are viscious. There’s no way he didn’t fall over when his body was still soft.
Right! After I read “German tabloid” I already knew what was up LOL.
Right! After I read “German tabloid” I already knew what was up LOL.
“black sails” tv show just did this. i think its either a hoax or its actually a picture that has a different caption. there was a man that wanted to be set to sea upon death, is that him?

uh no, the ocean is vast. There’s no telling how far his yacht was taken out to sea.
I saw her recently too. Tried to wear shades but we knew it was her. She looked bad.
how is it possible for a body to last that long. .it should have just been a skeleton?
???
Did this cat just ‘ease’ out the room on his back legs with his back still up??? lol. this is why cats scare me..
This GIF tho! #StealingIt
Why is his hair still in tact after all this time ?
That never stopped jaws.
LMAO!! Well Jaws only was able to leap onto rowboats and such, but a YACHT?? Nah!!! Ain’t happenin…
That’s not cause to be in a constant storm. That just part of life. Balance, my friend…
I find the pic interesting and I’m wondering how come it wasn’t just bones left. How does a corpse become mummified? Hmmmm…..
I’m wondering that too. How come those waves didn’t had that boat rocking enough to toss the body around the room.
scientifically its not possible for the body to remain whole. that being said, i don’t believe this
Oh so you’re just paying it forward? lol Thank you for the welcome
MY ANGER COMPLICATES THINGS…AND YOU’RE RIGHT, BUT TO YOUR POINT OF DISCIPLINING ONESELF WITH TIME, EFFORT AND ENERGY TO BE BETTER THAN YESTERDAY? I STAY IN A STORM. NOT THAT IT’S NOT MY OWN FAULT SOMETIMES…IN SHORT I CAN BE VERY HARD HEADED.
Storms will seek you out because they know about your anger issues. That’s where the discipline comes in. I’ve got a short fuse a lot of times. Sometimes, it doesn’t take much for me to calm down. Other times, it takes a lot more. I will literally say it is MIND over matter.
Mind control is powerful. When you learn to control your thoughts and block out negativity, you will literally feel a shift in the energy surrounding you. It will change for the better. That shift is powerful. It will affect not only what you choose to entertain in the future, but HOW you choose to approach people and situations.
It also helps to learn from your past experiences, and when new situations arise that mirror the old, approach them differently. Sometimes, people are so quick to react when they feel they’ve been wronged. It isn’t always what you feel someone did to you, but rather their intent. Even when their intent is < decent, you can still choose to overcome and allow the universe to pay them back, with interest. ?
Awwww….man?—y’all some foul ass mofo’s on this goddamn social media sh**.?????? I solemnly swear!????? how you gonna say ashes to ashes, dust to dust? ????
That’s what I’m talkin about???
He wrong as shiiittttt! ????
the salt in the water
Welp
yeah, its not like he was wrapped up. he was surrounded by moisture.
Either way, something is fishy about this story and it ain’t the sea.
LMAOOOO. You stupid. Lordt.
Autopsy said he died from a heart attack a week before this pic was taken…. Would of been skeletal in the sea can’t be preserved for long in those conditions.

That gif of that cat is almost as creepy as the picture of the dead guy…shutters.
