The life-like figure which Simon and the flies had both found was the dead body of the airman on top of the mountain. The parachute lines which were still attached to the body had become tangled in the rocks and caused the top part of the seated figure to slump forward or 'sit up' depending on how the wind blew on the blue parachute. The body was held together by its suit of rubber and canvas but the exposed face had rotten down to the bare white bone and teeth.
