A Swedish woman who photographed a swan in the river outside the royal palace in Stockholm made a grim discovery when the film was developed: a hand sticking out of the ice.

一名拍攝斯德哥爾摩王宮外的一隻河中天鵝的瑞典婦人，在底片沖洗出來後赫然發現：（結）冰（的河水）裡伸出一隻手來。

Newspaper Aftonbladet said on its website that Marita Larsson was walking around Stockholm's Old Town in early March and took a photo of a swan on the river as a spring thaw melted the ice.

瑞典晚報在該報網站上表示，瑪瑞塔•拉森在三月初春季河水解凍融冰之際在斯德哥爾摩的老城區步行時，拍攝了一張河中天鵝的照片。

"It was only when I came home and developed the film that I saw there was something particular about the picture. When I had it blown up I saw there was a hand sticking out of the ice," she told the newspaper.

「直到我回家並將底片拿去沖洗後，我才看到那張照片有些特別。當我放大照片時，我看到有一隻手從冰裡伸出來，」她向該報表示。

A spokesman for Stockholm police said the hand might be that of a man who committed suicide in late January and whose body has not yet been found.

斯德哥爾摩警方一名發言人表示，那隻手可能屬於一名在一月底（投河）自盡的男子，該男子的遺體迄今尚未尋獲。

Police last week also fished various body parts of a woman, including the head and hands, out of the river, and are still trying to identify her.

警方上週還在那條河裡撈出一名女性的許多身體部位，包括頭與兩隻手，目前還在確認該女子的身分。
