Floating 'reanimator' found off coast of Miami
N. Virginia Key Beach, Miami, Florida (AP)
Posted: May, 17, 2007

Following several emergency calls early this afternoon, Miami coast guards were dispatched to investigate sightings of a person in distress, floating about a mile out to sea off the coast of N. Virginia Key Beach Miami, Florida


Miami's beaches remain open today despite this afternoon's attack.

Amid reports that the person was struggling to stay afloat, the three man coast guard 'search and rescue' lifeboat arrived within minutes to pull the unidentified male to safety.

Attack:
First reports say the male was hauled to safety aboard the vessel. Once aboard, he began to attack his rescuers. Coast guard crew member Steven Alohma, 22, was bitten twice on the left hand. A violent struggle began, and as a result, the unidentified male, once it was realized he was a re animator, was pushed overboard again. The undead was later neutralized by a police boat, and taken aboard for identification.

Floating for days:
Fellow rescuer Paul Ruble spoke to ZWN later in the evening. 'We should have known. He was bobbing up and down like a cork, His arms were flailing around but he looked in a daze. We figured he must have fallen off a boat and had been at sea for a while and was sun burned and disoriented. But then when we hauled him in, his skin started to slide off in our hands. Like he'd been floating for days. His legs were a mess also. Small fish had been nipping at them I guess. We got him aboard and that's when he bit Steve, as he was tending to him. We should have seen it coming, it was only a matter of time"

"it was only a matter of time" - Coast guard rescuer

Miami Police officials released a statement saying that the undead has been identified as 32 year old Santiago Marino, a Cuban national living in Haiti. It is not known at this time how Marino either became infected or adrift at sea. But it is thought he may have been one of hoards of Haitian boat people attempting to flee Port-Au-Prince to avoid the carnage of the last few months.

The spokesperson went on to add that Marino was able to stay afloat for so long due to his decaying bodies slow release of gasses. This kept him buoyant throughout his journey. There also have been several reports of 'floaters' off the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, along with the Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, but none have ever traveled with the current this far before.

The police spokesperson concluded by assuring the public that Miami's beaches were safe for swimmers. However, she did add that the public must remain vigilant and report any sightings immediately.

The condition of the bitten coast guard official is unknown. He was transferred to a Florida hospital quarantine unit late this afternoon.
