how do people know that if no one's been close to them to give them medical tests?
There are historical documents made by Marco Polo commenting on them eating visitors. Apparently one of the more "recent" visits was in the 1800s when some British people ended up killing a couple of them. Since then pretty much no one has made contact.
there's a world of difference between innocent and stupid. the family should be asking for forgiveness, not acting all supercilious and offering it.
They trespassed on this land after being duly warned, the religious arrogance of people can get to ****.

Why should the family be asking forgiveness? They had nothing to do with it.
He. Just the one guy.
This is true, but doesn't change the fact that he was murdered.
Could be manslaughter to be fair, they considered him to be a threat and didn't know otherwise given their limited contact/understanding of the outside world.
I'm trying to be less assumptive.
No he wasnt, they just have a very robust immigration policy.
Perhaps they have an instinctive knowledge that Immigration will wreck their society and culture so they resist it strongly.
Perhaps the correct response to uninvited strangers storming your beaches is to actually kill them on sight.
Maybe we should take a leaf out of their book!
Murder is a strict legal definition is it not? Whats the law of the land there?
A common law legal system based on ours.
The tribe he visited was indeed the Sentinel islanders - the ones who attacked the documentary crew in the '70s.
He was apparently buried on the beach, so should be a far simpler mission to retrieve him than it otherwise might have been.
Makes me wonder if they're doing this just for a post-mortem, which is another kind of modern bureaucratic madness 'No death certificate until autopsy, fetch the body'
It seems the Indian authorities are the ones who intend to retrieve him.

out of courtesy for having an arrogant idiotic **** in the family that brought everything on himself and brought unwanted and negative attention on people who want nothing to do w/ the rest of the world.
Whatever the Anderman islanders want it to be. It is their Land!
Their land, though not their own independent country. It is Indian territory.
Of which India by law protects, it's functionally off limits to everyone but the islanders.
This guy is dead, end of, there wont be any retribution.
I never claimed there would be?
justifiable homicide
Isn't that US law?
Who says?
Sure, the Indians could march in with Guns and attack helicopters and declare that "All your Land are belong to us". But that would constitute an invasion and annexation of what, by any real definition, is sovereign territory.
I thought colonialism went out of fashion in the last century.
The only reason why it is deemed Indian territory is because the Indians say it is and everybody else (Except for the Islanders themselves of course) goes along with it.
It doesn't mean that, Morally, it is
