Human foot washes up on beach near Vancouver for 11th time in four years

A severed foot was found in a running shoe on the beach near Vancouver on Tuesday.

For the eleventh time in four years, a human foot washed ashore near Vancouver - baffling investigators who are at a loss to explain the grisly trend.

The foot, which was inside a running shoe, turned up along the British Columbia coast late Tuesday, according to police.

The body part, which was still attached to the lower part of the leg, was spotted by a passerby near the Vancouver's False Creek.

Police have no theories as to how the foot ended up in the water - but have not suggested that foul play is suspected.

Since 2007, nearly a dozen feet encased in shoes have appeared on beaches in the area, including a few over the border in Washington state.

The bizarre discovers have attracted international attention - and spawned fears of a serial killer.

But cops have steadfastly denied that anything sinister is behind the gruesome discovers, suggesting that the deaths were drownings or suicides and that the decaying feet separated from corpses naturally in the water.

Most of the remains are still unidentified, though police said at least three of the feet have been matched with British Columbia men who were reported missing.

Best comment so far: "Somewhere, there are 11 angry people hopping around Canada."
