On a routine dog walk in Rostock, Germany, a passerby discovered what looked like a burnt human hand protruding from a plastic bag. The police swung into action, and authorities deployed forensic teams, homicide detectives, floodlights, and a 3D scanner to document the scene.<\/p>\n
A drone was launched, and an undertaker was called in preparation for body removal. After more than five hours of examination, investigators found the supposed “human arm” was actually a next-generation sex doll, often referred to as a “real doll” for its lifelike appearance.\u00a0The owner had attempted to burn the doll before throwing it away.<\/p>\n

“All police measures were immediately terminated,” the police said in a statement to The Times<\/a>. “The undertaker could fortunately be cancelled. The police would like to take this opportunity to ask people to dispose of their rubbish in the appropriate locations.”<\/p>\n “We can write this off as an exercise. Fortunately, we don’t get this every day,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n Similar cases have emerged across Germany in recent months. Days ago, police in Bingen mistook a life-sized doll on a bench for a corpse. Last week, a supposed body part found in a field in Bad Kreuznach turned out to be a discarded silicone backside.<\/p>\n In February, firefighters in Hanover retrieved what appeared to be a drowning victim from a canal – only to discover yet another abandoned sex doll.<\/p>\n
