The population rose so high that they ran out of natural resources and good land to farm on. They were forced into cannibals and consumed the weak and elderly. There was a short war and most of the people left had gone insane from ergot poisoning.
The reason there are no bodies today is that the rats ate the remaining bodies. Even the teeth had eroded away as the island was pelted with salty winds. Eroding the topsoil into the ocean. Nothing had time to fossilize or bury cause of the fierce wet ocean winds.
The statues were built in the beginning in hopes of being rescued or saved from a passing ship.
The people of Easter Island were most likely expelled from their native land for some reason.
