VIDEO: Authorities find 'underwater skeleton tea party' in Arizona
Published in Weird News
CIENEGA SPRINGS, Ariz. (UPI) -- Authorities in Arizona responding to a report of human remains in the Colorado River said they actually discovered a staged "underwater skeleton tea party."
The La Paz County Sheriff's Department said deputies received a report Monday from a Colorado River snorkeler who spotted what appeared to be human remains near the Cienega Springs boat launch.
A Buckskin Fire Department diver investigated with a video camera and discovered the reported remains were actually a pair of fake skeletons in lawn chairs having what the sheriff's department described as an "underwater skeleton tea party."
"Although the call itself was resource intensive, both the Sheriff's Office and Buckskin Fire were happy to find that the remains weren't real and thanked the reporting party for making the call," the department said.
