However, they were horrified after opening it. Rick and Crystal were walking on a beach in North Queensland, Australia, when they found a mysterious clear bottle washed up on the shore. Expecting to find a love letter or a message from a new penpal inside, the excited couple filmed themselves picking up the bottle which contained a note. However, the pair were met with instant regret after opening it. As Rick emptied what he thought was sand in the bottle, Crystal read the attached note: \u201cHere lies the ashes of Geoffrey, if found please throw the bottle in the outgoing tide so I can continue my journey.\u201d \u201cOh no,\u201d a mortified Rick said, after discovering that he had just shook out someone\u2019s ashes onto the beach. \u201cOOOPS SORRY GEOFF,\u201d the couple wrote over the video, which quickly went viral with over 1.8 million views. Luckily, TikTok users in the comments saw the funny side of the mishap. \u201cLooks like his journey has ended twice,\u201d one person joked. \u201cWell anyways welcome to Australia Geoff,\u201d another added. \u201cInsane to me that Geoff was probs walking around a few months ago and now he\u2019s been literally spilt onto the sand by strangers,\u201d a third said. \u201c\u2018Ashes to ashes dust to dust\u2026 the recipient of this note we could not trust,&#8217;\u201d someone else quipped. Others tried to help the Aussie couple. \u201cJust put some sand back in there. And chuck it back in. No one will ever know,\u201d one user suggested, to which Rick replied, \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what I did. Tried to get all of him back in there.
