Presumably the family would want it back. I'm glad the locals at least buried it, though.

Did they?

I'm sure someone would sue if the body was left there.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

Is one dead body, (dead because it didn't belong there in the first place), worth the additional alienation, trauma, health risks, power flexing, ..............

And then what, have a ceremony then burn it or stick it in the ground again.

This.

How many people would be killed on both sides, potentially, ti recover a single body?

Yep, just leave it there. I'm sure the poor islanders could use a little additional fertilizer.

Quote from Father Ted, "Kicking Bishop Brennan Up The Arse."

Native: Quetzacoatl, the Volcano God is angry! We must appease his wrath!
Father Ted: Volcano God, what nonsense! Look, I'll ask again, will you not give Catholicism another try?
(Native tosses Ted into the volcano)
Native: Nah, it wouldn't really catch on here. And sure, we don't agree with the Pope's line on artificial contraception; it's the 90s, for God's sake!

I wish I could find a clip of this scene on Youtube.

As I understand it the last the others saw of him was as his body was being dragged into the jungle.

If you're worried about it you can go get it.

Less than fifty people, using bows and arrows. And I doubt they're English Longbow levels of epic. So I would imagine no one dying on our side, and the only deaths on their side being from their own xenophobia and stupidity.

Leaving it out for animals to eat it. Or desecrating it in some other way.
