County engineer's crews working in an area near the Richardson Forest Preserve spotted what they thought was a body. Colerain Township police responded and requested the county coroner's office.

Colerain Twp. police Chief Mark Denney told WCPO-TV that the body turned out to be a "sex doll in a garbage bag."

The mannequin was lifelike and partially wrapped in a black garbage bag, he told WCPO. It was spotted on a hillside so it was not easy to identify from a distance, the chief said.
