When a group of beachgoers saw what they initially believed to be a “dead body” washed up on the shore, they were horrified to learn that it was actually a sex doll.
It was only a matter of time before this occurred, with sex dolls becoming more and more lifelike.
It’s understandable that people would assume the worst when photos appear to show what appears to be a naked woman’s body on the beach.
Her torso and legs are clearly visible, but her head and arms are hidden by a piece of clothing.
Last week, on August 18, the discovery was made at Bang Saen beach in the Thai province of Chon Buri.
In order to avoid getting too close to what they assumed to be a corpse and possibly even a murder victim, alarmed bystanders immediately dialed 911.
When officers and paramedics arrived on the scene to treat the “woman,” they soon realized there was no crime to be investigated.
When officials realized the ‘body’ was actually a hyper-realistic silicone sex doll, they couldn’t help but laugh.
The replacement is reportedly a Japanese product with the name “AV Idol” and an estimated price of THB 20,000 (£469).
It scared people half to death when it suddenly appeared on the beach, according to the police. They think it was dumped in a canal or river before traveling to sea.
The doll is currently being kept at the neighborhood police station in case anyone wants to claim their plastic partner, despite the fact that she is starting to look a little worse for wear, especially since her head is missing.
That would be a humiliating lost property claim.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time this has happened; earlier this year, a man in the UK similarly discovered what he believed to be the face-down body of a woman who had been brutally murdered.
On Chesil Beach in Dorset in February, Chris Ford was searching for driftwood when he made the horrifying discovery.
However, he was relieved to learn upon closer examination that the deformed woman was actually a sex doll.
The 67-year-old recalled: “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.”
He continued: “I am always out collecting driftwood after storms so I fully expected to see a human body one day but never this. It certainly made my day.”
