With just 38 days to go before the Rio Olympics kicks off, the situation in the host city just went from bad to worse.
A beach goer Wednesday discovered mutilated human body parts that had washed up on the
shore, right in front of the Olympic Beach Volleyball Arena on Rio's famed Copacabana beach.
Police believe the victim was a woman or young adult.
Although the circumstances surrounding the person's death are unknown, it is another embarrassing blow to the host country—already reeling from financial problems, a mishap-prone
Olympic torch and an outbreak of the mosquito-borne Zika virus.
