Is Captain Cook's body found

Answer 1

Captain James Cook's body was never lost.

After Cook was speared by natives in Hawaii, his body was prepared in an unusual ritual, which may have seemed like cannibalism to those of his crew who witnessed it. Because he had originally been regarded as a god by the natives, his heart was divided between tribal chiefs and eaten. his hands were stuffed with salt to preserve them, whilst many of his bones were placed around the island, given to other significant tribal chiefs. His remains were then returned to his crew in dignified fashion, with a cloak of white and black feathers, where they were placed in a small coffin and buried at sea.

Answer 2

No, Captain Cook's body has not been found. He died in 1779 in Hawaii and it is believed that his body was dismembered and removed from the island by the native people. The exact location of his remains remains unknown to this day.
