"Fake wooden legs have been intermittently left at the beachside memorial stone for Arthur Medici, the Revere man who died in a shark attack at Newcomb Hollow Beach in Wellfleet on Cape Cod last September.

While police say they’re investigating three separate incidents — one each in March, June, and just last Saturday — they don’t know the intention of the person or persons responsible.

“It’s hard for us to make any type of educated decision or guesses,” Lt. Michael Hurley of the Wellfleet department said.

Medici, 26, was killed on Sept. 15 of last year. He was riding a boogie board about 30 yards off shore when the attack occurred. Medici was dragged to shore where his friend tied a makeshift tourniquet around his leg, according to The Boston Globe. He was then brought to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. It was the first fatal shark attack in Massachusetts since 1936.

The first fake leg was removed by the town’s public works department, Hurley said. The second leg was attached to the fence near the memorial stone, according to the Cape Cod Times. The wooden leg had on a pair of torn jeans. A note reading “RIP” was attached.

The third leg, another thigh and knee wearing jeans, had what appears to be red paint on it made to look like a deep, bloody gash running along the thigh with more “blood” trickling down toward the foot, photos the Times took show. It was reportedly attached to a cooler that appeared to be filled with cement, the Times reports."

What did this poor young man ever do to anyone that would bring about such sick cruelty? It just makes me sick to my stomach that people would disrespect someone who died tragically, just for sport. What is wrong with them?
