Body in the Water

Coate Water is a local beauty spot. Built as a reservoir for the convenience of the 18th century canals that passed through the valley, its now a nature reserve and a pleasant walk. In the local paper however I discover that a weekend walker had discovered a body there. Apparently it had been there for months, almost reduced to a skeleton, hidden in a stagnant pond near the lake itself. As yet no-one knows who he is or how he met his fate, but the disturbing thing for me is that I've walked past him two or three times. Along with hundreds of early morning dog-walkers and afternoon strollers.

Awareness of my environs? They found the body in a marshy area at the west side of the lake. there's a country road adjacent to it at a higher level and the undergrowth is fairly thick. Although the police haven't found evidence of foul play yet, you do have to wonder why this person was wandering around in a reedy swamp. Perhaps I'm more aware of my environs than he was?
