Naked body washes ashore in Miami Beach

View more videos at: http://nbcmiami.com.

A naked body washed ashore in Miami Beach, Fla., on Thursday morning, sparking a police investigation and sending chills through the neighborhood.

The deceased man was found on the beach at around 1:30 a.m. Thursday, NBC Miami reported. Police did not give any details on what the apparent cause of death was or how the body may have wound up on the beach.

The victim hasn’t been identified, according to NBC Miami.

“I was with my friend and I saw the policemen going to the beach, so we went there and saw a dead body,” Alexandra Mathiu, a student at a local language school, told NBC Miami. “It’s just so scary because it’s in front of our school.”

Police are working to determine the cause of death. A medical examiner was on the scene Thursday and removed the body, NBC Miami reported.

        It was the summer of 1980. I walked the beach early one morning, and happened across my dream girl. I was so stricken by her beauty we made love over and over that day. The following morning I walked the same quiet, early morning, beach and found her head not far away.

        Custom1911- Most people who have never been to Chicago and seen Lake Michigan or seen Lake Superior for that matter have a certain vision in mind when they hear the word "lake". As you have so correctly pointed out, inland sea is a far better description.

            Actually, Lake Michigan is interconnected with the Great Lakes*Lake Huron is actually has rivers running out of it that make their way to the Ocean eventually, so perhaps it can NOT be classified a lake by the above qualification that you can walk around it, man-made bridges notwithstanding.

            Unless the river freezes over or the bodies are so thick you can walk across them...

            Geography

            Though the five lakes reside in separate basins, they form a single, naturally interconnected body of fresh water. The lakes form a chain connecting the east-central interior of North America to the Atlantic Ocean. From the interior to the outlet at the St. Lawrence River, water flows from Superior to Huron and Michigan, southward to Erie, and finally northward to Lake Ontario. The lakes drain a large watershed via many rivers, and are studded with approximately 35,000 islands. The Great Lakes region contains not only the five themselves but also many thousands of smaller lakes, often called "inland lakes." Of the five lakes, Lake Michigan is the only one that is located entirely within the United States; the others form a water border between the United States and Canada.

            Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. Miami Beach is plastic, as are the Glam Set's Titties. But they do provide bouyancy!

            Thank God that the Canadians have a say in the treatment of the Great Lakes. If not for them the US would be draining off water to fill the swimming pools in Arizona and using the rest as a dumping ground for industrial run off.

              #4.10 - Thu Mar 14, 2013 2:36 PM EDT

              @ the thinker, The Great Salt Lake was part of an inland sea, but since it's mostly gone, it's not so much a body of water, as it is a salt flat. So, it should be called The Great Salt Flats. But sea would be more correct than lake.

                              Drunk people do swim in the nude and drown. Sheesh. Being afraid because a body washes ashore on a beach near you is like being afraid because someone died in the hospital down the block.

                                      They probably didn't take a bath or shower the night before because they knew they were going to wash up on the beach!

                                        The original joke, now not told due to the @!$%#ed up PC Era, is:

                                        "Why don't Haitians take baths? Because they wash up on shore."

                                        The companion joke is:

                                        "How do you get 30 Cubans into a Volkswagon? Tell 'em it floats."

                                        I know, I know. Don't shoot the mesenger. I am a SoFla Native, so I have heard them all.

                                        Just not lately.

                                          Probably just another spoiled twentysomething clubber who had too much to drink and maybe did some coke, X or MDMA on top of that.

                                          UltraFest is in town, so you are definitely making an educated guess. I never had a problem swimming with Molly...or anything else.

                                                Probably from a cruise ship. He couldn't take it anymore and decided to swim for it.

                                                      The victim hasn’t been identified, according to NBC Miami.

                                                      But then again, it is Skeets and Sheryl. Keep on Hating while swimming in it. There is always Yahoo or Fox, ever-present bastions of intelligence.
