A 'dead body’ dumped in a rubbish bin turned out to be a doll

Police were called out to a property in Big Wave Bay, Hong Kong, after the 'corpse' was discovered in a bin wrapped up with gaffer tape on Monday.

Stunned locals had been sharing theories about who may have been responsible for dumping the cadaver, before the tense situation then took a "hilarious" turn when it was revealed that the body was a life-size sex doll.

The woman who first spotted the doll claims that she saw a "legit body" sitting upright "at the bottom of the bin" before the truth was revealed.

She said: "I went down there and when I arrived there they were just about to open up the bag, and then when they opened it up – with locals and people standing around – you could see the shoes … then the silicon and then everyone just started laughing."
