STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A Swedish woman who photographed a swan in the river outside the royal palace in Stockholm made a grim discovery when the film was developed: a hand sticking out of the ice.
Newspaper Aftonbladet said on its Web Site that Marita Larsson was walking around Stockholm's Old Town in early March and took a photo of a swan on the river as a spring thaw melted the ice.
"It was only when I came home and developed the film that I saw there was something particular about the picture. When I had it blown up I saw there was a hand sticking out of the ice," she told the newspaper.
A spokesman for Stockholm police said the hand might be that of a man who committed suicide in late January and whose body has not yet been found.
Police last week also fished various body parts of a woman, including the head and hands, out of the river, and are still trying to identify her.

I bet if you could drain most of the rivers around the world even for only ten seconds you would find bodies of all ages in them,
Pity we could not get a pic of the hand

There's an interesting book called River Rat's Guide to the Missouri River. It was written by a man named Rufus something (I've forgotten his last name, only the unusual first name stuck with me
) who was an old river boat captain. Among his claims to fame is that he pulled more bodies out of the Missouri River than anyone else in history. 
thats weird i want more info!
Freaky! I'd freak out if that happened to me.
That gave me chills...
Well isn't that interesting....
Huh? That's pretty messed up...I would like to see a pic though.
