Death at sea?

In the middle of a calm ocean, a spotter plane repeatedly flies low over a moored yacht. The yacht had been reported missing for two days.

The pilot of the plane can see no-one on the yacht, but he does spot several semi-naked dead bodies floating in the water nearby. He immediately radios his base to explain what had happened.

What did the pilot report?

Update:

Heh, I'll give it a bit more time before I explain this one.

You're looking for the cause of death, not simply that the pilot will report what he sees.

    Surely he reports that he sees a missing yacht with several suspected dead bodies floating in the water? Probably the location come in to it. Hmm..a moored yacht? does that mean it was tied to something? What kind of question is this...i think i've had one to many

    They're in the Dead Sea and thats why the bodies are floating or they're in the Arctic Ocean and they froze to death.The yacht is moored to an iceberg

    I have no idea... i would say something like they all went for a swim but forgot to put the ladder down so got stranded in the sea... but they would possibly survive two days at sea... unless something in the sea has killed them... but what is the yacht moored to in the middle of the ocean???... i reckon something to do with the plane flying low killed them possibly???

    I give up please tell!!!

    That a marlin jumped into the yacht because he thought he saw a worm and all the NAKED people jumped out. Right onto the thousands of deadly jellyfish.

    They forgot to let down the ladder. This is the plot of the new film Adrift. There is a baby still aboard.

    Dont know, but someone please figure it out!!!! The moored yacht def has something to do with it. Maybe someone killed them for their clothes? I think that the ladder idea was good.
