He left them a coke can? That feels like peak 1980s jingoism.
Everyone knows that it's a bottle of coke you need to leave anyways. I saw it in an 80s documentary.
Hey you guys, have you heard the good news about our Lord and Savior, Soda?
Scum
LEAVE THE SENTINELESE ALONE. They obviously don't want to be contacted and corrupted by the outside world and I can't blame at all. The only people they hurt are invaders to their island. The Indian Government is right to protect their isolation.

I really, really hope he will get prison time for this.
What a piece of garbage.
I'm not sure about that headline, ABC. How about, "arrested for risking killing hundreds of people with COVID/disease, in order to make YouTube content". This way you can't be smug and cute about a genuine risk, or the application of law by foreigners.

The body was not recovered and there were no investigations over his death because of the Indian law prohibiting anyone from going to the island.
Odd how it tends to be Americans that do this. Bizarre settler colonial mindset.
He’s lucky to still have an anus
Perhaps he misunderstood when he overheard someone say "they eat arseholes".
Someone's been watching The Gods Must Be Crazy.
But obviously unclear on the concept. The key was the bottle, not the contents.
Terrible, clickbait title.
A place for odd or quirky world news stories.
