The man, who appears to have been trying to make a desperate mayday call, has been identified as German adventurer Manfred Fritz Bajorat.
He was found by two fishermen on the weekend in the seas off Surigao del Sur province, about 50 miles off Philippines.
The grey corpse, which was preserved by dry ocean winds, hot temperatures and the salty air, still sat at a desk near radio equipment on the 40ft yacht called Sayo, which was partially submerged.
His decomposing body was found beside photographs and a haunting letter to his wife, Claudia, who died from cancer in 2010.
It is not yet clear when he died, but no one has reported seeing him since 2009. Cont.
