Michael Rockefeller’s Death By Cannibalism (13/55)

Michael Rockefeller's Death By Cannibalism

Michael Rockefeller (center), the son of New York governor and soon-to-be U.S. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller, disappeared somewhere in Papua New Guinea in the early 1960s.

Seen here on his first trip there in May 1960, Rockefeller’s smile belies his grim fate. It’s believed he was killed and eaten by the Asmat people — a cannibal group known to behead their enemies and consume their flesh.
