If this were the plot of a Scandi-noir novel, it would be dismissed as ridiculously implausible.
Headless body found near topless beach: Missing private sub journalist identified
Danish cops have identified the headless torso found in Copenhagen bay as that of Kim Wall – the journalist who went missing after taking a ride in a homemade submarine. Wall, 30, had disappeared on August 10 after embarking on what was supposed to be a short trip with engineer Peter Madsen aboard the UC3 Nautilus, the world's …

Steady on, there has to be a full police investigation, a trial then finally a conviction. Just a couple of names to throw at you that always make me reserve judgement and avoid a lynching: Colin Stagg and Stefan Kiszko.
Things look mighty suspicious though and he's a lot of unexplained questions to answer. I don't think he should be making long term plans to live abroad or buy a house on the prima facea situation.

Re: Making light of tragedy
Finally -- I was already wondering whether the Humour Police might have been disbanded. Welcome back, Comrade, and don't forget to check in with the Commissar For Serious Matters to pick up a copy of the current List Of Things That Are Inappropriate to Joke About.

Awful, simply awful
The submarine bit really is irrelevant.
If this had been a gangland killing the opprobrium would have been extreme.
Whilst I, like everyone here, can concoct my own story of what may have happened, we must wait for due process to reveal the 'truth.'
Therefore I would argue any humour is misplaced. Sorry for being a killjoy, but we must show some respect.

Re: This story is still nowhere near as strange as...
I always loved dystopian sci-fi films because they would ask the question "How bad would life be like if..." and for a short while I'd live in an alternate, twisted universe, then when they end I would be thankful things aren't that bad.
But unfortunately, looking around at the current state of the world, "if..." appears to be happening and now after watching those sorts of films I don't have that comforting feeling anymore.

It's not that bad - at least we haven't been invaded by aliens yet.
Hang on - why has the sky gone dark?

"It's not that bad - at least we haven't been invaded by aliens yet." That is because we don't WANT your stinkin' planet. Here, on Mars, I am about to finish my harvest of my Ham Bushes, in time to start on my Blanket Trees. After all of that, I will be ready to cast my NSM seeds for a new crop. It is a bunch of work to fertilize each of them, personally, but there is no one else but me to do the job. If you all just stay on Earth, I promise not to invade. .

Obvious and stupid mistake
One look at any photo and it's obvious as hell the sub was a lot longer than "26 feet", snort. It's pretty obvious the length was 26 METERS. God help us from idiot writers who don't know the difference between feet and meters. Who gives length in feet of anything anywhere in the world outside of the the US?

This is an English 'paper' - I expect the Brexit will eventually lead to a return to Imperial from any greasy undemocratic and republican metric system - closely followed by pounds and shillings, child labour and serfdom, God bless her majesty, she was never amused by Europe.

Re: Obvious and stupid mistake
All this rabid dislike of Imperial measurements when they can be just as decimal as decimal.
Ten pounds weight is a gallon of water.
Ten chains (length of a cricket pitch) to a furlong (used in proper sports) and an area described as a furlong by a chain is an acre. And what's so hard about that?
And best of all: an ounce of gold does weigh more than an ounce of feathers!
