With just 36 days to go before the Rio Olympics kick off, the situation in the host city just went from bad to
worse.
A beach
goer Wednesday discovered human body parts that had washed up on the shore,
right in front of the Olympic Beach Volleyball Arena on Rio's famed Copacabana
beach.
A
dismembered foot and another body part still unidentified was found, according
to Andre Luiz, an officer of the Military Police. Police believe the victim was
a woman or young adult.
Although
the circumstances surrounding the person's death are unknown, it is another
embarrassing blow to the host country -- already reeling from financial problems,
a mishap-prone Olympic torch and an outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
