On Thursday, cops from the Colerain Township Police in Ohio, US, responded to a call about a dead body spotted on the side of a road. However, a detailed examination of the 'body' by a coroner later determined that it wasn't actually a body... but simply a realistic mannequin. According to local reports, the mannequin/body was found on the edge of the Richardson Nature Preserve in the Colerain Township of Ohio.
According to Fox News, the body was found by a Hamilton County engineer. The engineer spotted it wrapped in a garbage bag on Thursday afternoon and called the police.
However, even when cops arrived at the scene, they did not realise that it wasn't a dead body in the plastic bag but simply a mannequin. It was only when a coroner was called and examined the body that everyone realised it wasn't human.
Colerain Police Chief Mark Denney said the mannequin appeared to be a realistic sex doll.
Talk about a case of mistaken identity!
This, however, is not the first time that cops have been left confused by a dummy. Back in 2016, New York police broke into a vehicle to 'rescue' an apparently frozen woman, only to find it was a life-size mannequin.
