Blow up doll mix up
A bunch of onlookers thought the worst when an inflatable doll was seen floating along the River Medway in Maidstone, Kent, fully clothed.
According to the Daily Mirror newspaper the people believed it to be a deceased being and alerted officers.
Speaking about the sighting, a local resident named Tom Maybury, 21, said: ''Some people out for a ramble saw her first and were about to dial 999 for the Murder Squad.
''She was floating face-up between a moored boat and the river bank and looked for all the world like a body.
''She was dead sexy looking, with a shapely figure and pouting lips.
''We reckon some lads out on the town had dumped her in the river for a spot of fun.
''She was life-size and it really looked like a body.''
