New Coast Guard coloring book of drowned corpses promotes life jacket use

ORLANDO, Fla. — In an effort to promote life jacket use for children of all ages, the US Coast Guard released a coloring book of drowned corpses and introduced a new mascot, Bloatie, the Carcass Full of Crabs.

This is the newest coloring book in the Coast Guard Public Affairs series “Be Safe or Suffer The Consequences.” Public Affairs Officer Second Class Jeb Murray said the new volume features art of floating dead bodies, as well as new activity pages including “Next of Kin Notification” word search, “match-the-missing-clothes with the dead body” games, and “find the carcass in the bundle of floating debris.”

“How else are we supposed to encourage safety on the water than provide kids examples of real consequences if they do not follow simple requirements,” Murray said.

The Coast Guard released the book as part of Boating Safety Month.
