Shaddock was first spotted by a plane flying overhead, and a ship was sent to rescue him.
The man said, “I’ve been through some tough times at sea.” he told 9News.
“I need to rest and eat well because I’ve been alone at sea for a while. I’m just fine,” he continued.
Tim Shaddock said that, all these months spent at sea, he was living by catching small fish and eating them.
Shaddock returned to Mexico with boat rescued him and was taken to a hospital to undergo a medical test and receive medical treatment if necessary.
