It had been there for three years!
The remains have been identified as Robert James Moore, a 69-year-old American who had a fixation with the Royal Family. It is believed he'd been living on the small island for 15 years.edit on 3-10-2011 by JonoEnglish because: Title
This sounds like no coincident to me, I would like to know what stood in the letters that he posted to the queen, maybe he had something on them and they had him sorted out very quickly.

surely someone must have been on this island before now as from the pic it looks fairly landscaped, so why wasn't the body discovered before? strange?
"The inquest heard that Mr Moore, 69, who travelled from his home in the United States in 2007, suffered from mental health problems."
"Coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox said the skeleton had been found at around 3.30pm on March 15 earlier this year..."
"The passport matched a copy that had been sent to the palace by Mr Moore, who had also mailed letters, some running to 600 pages, and other 'peculiar' items."

Yeah, it sounds fishy.It just doesn't add up.
With all the security in and around Buckingham Palace, the island he was on is in direct view of the Palace (only 100 yards away).
I find it hard to believe that the island hadn't been searched for three years.
Just very odd.

Not sure if you guys know, but these parks and the surrounding area is very open to the public. Anyone can come and go as they please. You won't find hundreds of policemen and security like you do in US tourist spots.
It is highly likely this guy waded across, set up a camp to view the palace and died of natural causes.
West Island, which is not open to the public and can only be accessed by boat or by wading across the shallow lake, offers an 'excellent' view of Buckingham Palace.

I find it hard to believe that such a spot is not subject to random security checks. All these high profile events around the primary residence of a nation's head of state and nobody bothers to check an island that could contain a sniper?
You Brits really need to get with the program when it comes to VIP security. Ask the US Secret Service, im sure they will show you how its done
