Lauren Raimy had one hope for the freezer she saw wash up on a Nantucket shoreline: please don’t contain a dead body.

To her relief, the freezer was in fact filled with ice cream, according to the Nantucket Current, which posted photos of the discovery on its website.

Raimy was among a group at Madequecham Beach Thursday afternoon that watched as the freezer emerged from the fog and washed ashore on the sand in a matter of 15 minutes.

The beach was not crowded, but a group of about a half-dozen gathered around the freezer to explore their discovery.

“We weren’t sure what it was at first,” Raimy told the Current. “We were hoping we weren’t going to find a dead body or something.”

Upon opening, the group encountered a cooler filled with various ice cream products.

The Current said beachgoers remain unsure where the freezer came from, or how it made its way to the Nantucket shore.
