The article contains a few informal fallacies and an example of inflammatory rhetoric. It uses sensationalist language in the title ('Body found...') and throughout the text, which may appeal to readers' emotions rather than presenting facts objectively. Additionally, there is an example of inflammatory rhetoric when describing a self-made raft as 'self-made' implies it was not up to safety standards or insinuates that it was poorly constructed. The author also uses the phrase 'believed to have attempted travel', which suggests the man may have been attempting something dangerous or ill-advised, without providing evidence for this claim.
