NASSAU, Bahamas — Police in the Bahamas are looking for a 72-year-old Canadian whose sailboat was found ransacked and abandoned off the island of Grand Bahama.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force is distributing flyers on John Batchelor of Ontario.
Spokeswoman Loretta Mackey said today that police are still treating his disappearance as a missing persons case.
Police boarded Batchelor's nine-metre sailboat last week after it had been sitting for several days with no sign of the owner.
The boat appeared to have been ransacked but there was no one on board but a malnourished dog.
The dinghy was attached but a swim ladder was down.

I feel that if certain organs were in demand, less effort would be made to revive people. Am I being silly? Not really. I had a bad experience in hospital when my heart stopped, the doctors tried to revive me and failed. They stopped and said I was gone. I came around on my own when the nurse was giving a final BP reading of 'zero'. I heard her declare me dead! It was all I could do to shake my head but they never caught on til I was able to open my eyes. You should have seen them scramble then! I thought the nurse was going to faint. The thing is, I think we may write people off too soon when there is something of value to be gained from them.
