Police officers launched a full-scale murder investigation after a body was discovered in a wooded area—only to halt proceedings five hours later when forensic experts determined it was actually a discarded sex doll.
The unsettling discovery was made by a passerby who immediately alerted authorities, believing they had stumbled upon a horrific crime scene. Officers quickly cordoned off the area, and forensic teams were brought in to examine the “body.”
After extensive investigation, experts realized that what appeared to be human remains was, in fact, an extremely lifelike silicone sex doll. The case was promptly closed, leaving officers red-faced but relieved that no crime had actually taken place.
Authorities later reminded the public to properly dispose of such items to avoid unnecessary panic and wasted police resources.
