Burial at sea fails when body surfaces

FORT LAUDERDALE — A burial in his beloved sea was the wish of Daniel Scott Lasky, who died last week at his home in Hickory, N.C.

But his family's efforts to comply with that wish led to a fisherman's startling discovery and sent homicide investigators scrambling to solve the mystery of a body at sea.

Lasky, a 48-year-old grocery worker, died of Lou Gehrig's disease on Sept. 8. The next day his family packed his body in dry ice, loaded it into a van and drove to Fort Lauderdale, where Lasky once vacationed. After stopping overnight in Daytona Beach, the family and Lasky's remains arrived in Fort Lauderdale on Friday.

They chartered a local fishing boat, the Mary B III, and Lasky's widow, Sharon, her pastor and other family members, along with the boat's captain and crew, motored four miles offshore from Port Everglades. They tendered their final goodbyes and consigned Lasky to the deep. Family members then fished for a spell in his memory.

"Clearly what they were doing was trying to honor the wishes of their loved one," said Veda Coleman-Wright, spokeswoman for the Broward Sheriff's Office.

His new nickname is 'Bob.'

Apparently they didn't research the whole process very well and omitted to either weigh him down sufficiently or at all.

I have the sinking feeling in the pit of my gut that they didn't have a body dumping permit.

So old Dan wanted to be fishbait. Is there a law against fishing over a baited spot?

They did not drill holes in the body so it would sink....? yeah I probably will get BS with that one? The risk is worth it.

They threw a couple of potatoes and carrots in the water after him.

His new name is "Stu".
