The
American man, John Allen Chau, paid five fishermen to take him to North
Sentinel Island, said Deepak Yadav, a senior police official in the
city of Port Blair.
The island is home to the
tiny Sentinelese tribe, whose members reject contact with the wider
world and react with hostility and violence to attempts by outsiders to
interact with them. The island is off-limits to visitors under Indian
law.
Yadav said that Chau and the fishermen
arrived at the island around midnight on Nov. 14. The next day, Chau
used a kayak to approach the island and attempted to speak with the
islanders, who have been known to fire arrows at interlopers. The
fishermen told police that they last saw Chau alive on Friday.
The following morning, they saw his body “being dragged and then buried,” Yadav said.

It is one thing to confess Christ and receive a martyr's crown. It is quite another thing to throw away your life.
