It was discovered in the aftermath of the River Nene bursting its banks.

"I went out for a walk on the 25th and the whole field was flooded. I went for a walk there with my sister the next day. There was a lot of stuff washed up, like a go-kart and a fridge freezer. But then all of a sudden there was also this coffin - that was what stuck out the most. It was a strange thing to see and I must admit we did have a look around in case the body was nearby but we couldn't find anything else,¡± said Russel.

The casket is in good shape and it still remains a mystery how it landed up in the United Kingdom.

Russell also found an electric estimator, a fridge, and a child's Go-Kart.

This might have been one of the strangest things to have washed up unannounced, but it's definitely not the only one.

A fishing boat that went missing about 10 years ago when a powerful Tsunami swept across the city of Kesennuma, Japan, mysteriously turned up on a small island in the Pacific earlier this month.
