I was not always a happy #heathen, and my mom (RIP) was a devout #Catholic who also collected santos (wood carved saints). In fact, for our wedding, we received from my parents a small Three Kings wood carved statue (it is stored now) to keep the tradition alive. Nice to see efforts at #preservation.

No signs of violence, awaiting autopsy. Guessing he just went, and TBH, laying on a hammock and just going sounds like a peaceful way to go.
