Problems continued on Wednesday when human body parts, including a foot and other remains washed ashore a beach near the site for the upcoming Olympic volleyball tournaments in the Brazilian city, the Associated Press reports. Police reportedly have no further details about the recently discovered, mutilated body parts. According to Reuters, the discovery was made by a Rio street vendor, who reported his findings to a newspaper. Along with a variety of other setbacks, the city has faced an uptick in localized violence since a drug trafficker escaped from a Brazilian hospital over a week ago, engaging in multiple gun battles across the city’s slums, as authorities attempt to recapture him, the AP reports.
