Passer-by calls police after mistaking sex doll for human body at Hong Kong beach
- Officers sent to refuse collection depot on Big Wave Bay Road after receiving report of suspected human body wrapped in black plastic bag
- Online footage shows police unwrapping object and finding ‘human-like plastic toy’
Police were called to a Hong Kong beach after a discarded sex doll wrapped in a plastic bag was mistaken for a human body on Monday.
Officers from the patrol subunit of Chai Wan Police Station were sent to a refuse collection depot on Big Wave Bay Road in Shek O after receiving a report from a female passer-by just before 8.30am.
A police spokesman said the woman had reported finding a suspected human body wrapped in a black plastic bag at the rubbish depot. The force initially treated the case as a “requested police investigation”.
A photograph posted online shows the human-shaped object was wrapped like a mummy.
Two police officers wearing white coverall-style protective suits, goggles and gloves were seen in an online video checking the bag while a uniformed officer guarded the cordoned off area.
