Two stranded fishermen were found after three months in the sub-zero temperatures of one of the most remote regions of the world and authorities think they may have killed and eaten two of their friends to stay alive.

This does sound like a Hollywood movie from a while back, but authorities say they have a body with jagged knife wounds that seems to indicate what might have really happened, according to Radaronline on Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012. It sounds as if these two men turned cannibal to survive.

Four men left for a fishing trip in Siberia in August and they were headed out to go fishing in the remote Sutam River. They went missing and when they were found recently, only two of the men were alive. One body was found, but one body is still missing. These men lived for three months in temperatures that dipped to -22 Fahrenheit.

Authorities are not sure if the corpse is that of Viktor Komarov or Andrei Kurochkin. Whoever he is, police believe he was murdered and his flesh was used as food for the two surviving fishermen. The scene where the body was found looked like a crime scene with an ax and wooden stake, bloody jacket and trails of blood on the ice and snow. The missing body has police considering it could have been cannibalism because the two men had to survive on something.

While the men claimed to have stayed alive by stumbling upon hunters’ houses and borrowing their food and clothes, eating sawdust moss, or frying up animal skin, many believe they killed and ate their friends to stay alive.

They were supposedly fishermen, so many ask why they didn’t fish for nutrition. This leaves many to wonder if they were not just amateur gold diggers and not expert fishermen. The two men left the hospital after police questioned them without getting the full medical attention they needed.

The case is under investigation at this time.
