LONDON, Dec. 3 (UPI) -- British police said a man presumed dead in a canoe accident nearly six years ago walked into a London police station during the weekend.

John Darwin, whose red canoe was found wrecked and washed up on a beach in 2002, walked alive and well Saturday into London's West End Central Police Station, Sky News reported Monday.
