旱魃が続くと死体が見つかる：「この調子ならもっと見つかるよ！」

　米国南西部はどうも旱魃中らしい。貯水池が、歴史的な低水位におちこみ、さらにさらに水が引いていく。環境問題のせいだけではないにせよ、うん、いや、まあ、ちょっと…というわけなのだが、ともかく水位が下がっていく。さてそこで、錆び錆びのドラム缶などが出てきて、物のついでに死体まで入っていたという。

BBC Lake Mead: Shrinking reservoir reveals more human remains 10 May 202

　警察は、もっと見つかるだろうねと予測。そして見つかる白骨死体。どんだけ沈んでんねんな…。

「More human remains have been found in Lake Mead, just one week after the body of a suspected murder victim was found in the rapidly shrinking reservoir.

The latest remains were reported to park rangers on Saturday. On 1 May, a body was found in a barrel stuck in the mud of the lake's receding shoreline.

The largest US reservoir, Lake Mead supplies drinking water to 20 million people from Las Vegas to Los Angeles.

Police warn that more bodies will probably be found as the lake recedes.」
