Police rushed to a temple garden in Gyeonnggi Province after receiving a call about a bound female corpse, but upon closer examination, they discovered that the “corpse” was actually an inflatable doll.
According to BBC, a witness was picnicking in the park with his family when he saw what appeared to be a dead female body sprawled near the waterway. The body was tied up with denim fabric and blue tape and seemed to have been a victim of a brutal murder.
Around 50 officers arrived at the potential murder scene and were surprised and equally relieved to find the alleged corpse to be a life-size inflatable sex doll.
“The skin texture [was so] similar to that of an actual person that when the policeman touched it, he mistook it for a human body,” a police source told The Dong-A Ilbo.
Officials said the doll is an import from Japan that is sold in adult stores. Sex dolls are supposedly also found in brothels, since it ambiguous whether or not the “doll experience” violates South Korea’s anti-prostitution laws.
