‘Baby’ found dead near park turns out to be realistic doll

Horror and alarm over the discovery of what appeared to be the body of a dead baby at a New York City park turned to relief, and probably some embarrassment, Tuesday when the blue-skinned corpse was later revealed to be a realistic-looking doll.

Police and paramedics rushed to Crocheron Park in the Bayside neighborhood of Queens at around 7:40 a.m. after a woman out for a morning jog found the “baby” lying face-down in the grass.

Detectives descended on the park in droves to look for evidence. A crime scene tent was set up. Yellow tape blocked off the area where the discovery was made.

Police initially reported the child was three months old and had been pronounced dead at the scene of an undetermined cause.

At some point, though, a closer inspection showed the object in the grass was a doll or some sort of theatrical prop, with its skin apparently purposely colored to resemble decomposing skin.

One giveaway was the baby’s T-shirt, which read, “the crawling dead.”

The red lettering wasn’t initially visible because the doll was on its stomach.

“It appeared to be a baby with discoloration consistent with signs of prolonged death, but thankfully, it was actually a lifelike prop,” Fire Department spokesman Myles Miller said.

The error was discovered when personnel from the city’s medical examiner arrived to retrieve the body. ...

A figure is seen lying by the railroad tracks. The authorities are called in. Deputies secure the scene, but wait as required for the coroner to arrive before examining the body. Coroner arrives. Deputies immediately determine the alleged corpse is a realistic sex doll.
Cheeky Corpse: Georgia detectives discover body is sex doll

It seemed like a major crime for Allenhurst, a town of less than 700 people in southeast Georgia. A female body was spotted by the railroad tracks. Liberty County deputies gathered at the scene and waited for the coroner.

It took a while before they realized the joke was on them: The corpse was actually a sex doll.

Detective Mike Albritton said officers found the female humanoid Tuesday afternoon, WSAV-TV reported. Under department policy, deputies can’t touch a dead body until the coroner arrives.

Once the coroner came to the scene, detectives began checking the body for injuries and immediately realized it was a sex doll. Detectives said it was anatomically correct, with realistic features and was fully dressed. ...

It’s unclear whether authorities will investigate. Albritton said he’s never encountered a incident like this.

A life-sized doll on a Georgia trail in a national forest was mistaken for a "deceased female."

Jones County Sheriff's office deputies initially responded to what was mistakenly "believed to be a body located on a trail in Hitchiti National Forest " ...

Upon arrival on the scene Thursday, "deputies observed what appeared to be the body of a deceased female wearing white socks," the post read. "Our crack team of investigators arrived on scene, along with Deputy Matthew Dennis, who quickly recognized the body to actually be a life-sized doll, complete with accessories," and a model number.

The sheriff's office also said in the post that the doll is "now named Selena, is a little under the weather, but she has been having a nice day and is expected to make a full recovery."

"In all seriousness, thank God for small blessings in that this just turned out to be a case of littering," the post added. "If you know Selena or are responsible for her whereabouts, rest assured no DNA was collected and you are safe. But in the future, please make sure to dispose of your items in a responsible way."

Pensioner says he thought this doll he found on a beach was a headless corpse

A pensioner had the shock of his life when he raced to save a woman washed up on the beach — but discovered a human-size headless sex doll.

Chris Ford, 67, was looking for driftwood after a recent storm when he came across the mutilated silicone female body with all her ‘bits on show’ lying face down.

The retired photographer said he always feared he would discover a human body during one of his regular sweeps — but was relieved to discover the ‘victim’ was just a sex doll.

He quickly called his partner over to take pictures and they both left in hysterics, speculating where it had come from. ...

Chris, of Portland, Dorset, said: ‘It was a human-like figure but was too clean and too pretty — and it did not have a head.

‘Apart from its lack of a face, it was very anatomically correct. So as soon as I got to her I knew it was a sex doll. ...

Chris said he left the doll on Chesil Beach after the find on Sunday and it was later cleared away.

‘Dead body’ found in search for missing mum turns out to be abandoned sex doll

The mysterious disappearance of a missing mum in the United States took a bizarre turn yesterday after police were scrambled to some barren waste ground.

Ariana Taylor hasn’t been seen for over a week in the Mid West state of Indiana, and relatives are becoming increasingly concerned about her welfare.

Her badly-damaged car was found near a major highway but there was no-sign of the 23-year-old mum of one. Neither her phone or her car keys were found in the vehicle. ...

But there were hopes of a break in the case on Sunday, April 10, when police received reports of “a body” wrapped in a plastic sheet being found in a desolate grassy area in the north of the city, only a few miles from where Ariana's car was discovered.

The crime scene was quickly cordoned off and the “body,” still wrapped in its sheet, was rushed to the Lake County Coroner’s Office. ...

“Once it was able to be uncovered it was determined to be a life-sized silicone/rubber type female doll,” Gary police Lieutenant Dawn Westerfield told reporters. ...

Scared beachgoers call police over 'murdered woman' as sex doll washes up on sand

Shocked beachgoers were left horrified and in need of police assistance after a "murdered woman" washed up on the shores of a beach. ...

The beach in the Bang Saen district of Chonburi, eastern Thailand, had quite the scare as paramedics and police raced to the scene of what they believed was a murder case.

But it turned out that the eerily real-looking body was in fact a silicone sex doll which had fooled dozens into believing there was a real emergency. ...

Officers attending the scene identified the mystery body as a hyper-realistic sex doll from Japan, an "AV idol" branded piece ...

A Bang Saen district police spokesperson said: "On August 18, 2022, rescue teams were informed that people on the beach were shocked to see a young woman naked and unconscious.

"The officers then rushed to check and from a distance saw a small, beautiful woman with a bare bottom.

"But when they moved closer it turned out to be an AV doll."

The police spokesperson continued: "Her head was missing and her bottom was exposed. We checked on the internet and they cost about 20,000 Baht (£472).

"We believe the doll had been dumped in a river or canal before entering the sea and washing up on the sand. It has now been removed in order to prevent it from scaring tourists.

"If the owner wants to reclaim their doll they can collect her from the rescue team's station." ...
