Imagine diving down to hunt for mysteries and buried goodies under the water, but instead coming upon what you think might be human remains. That’s what happened to one Colorado River diver in Arizona who came upon the the sight you see in the video above and decided to call the police. According to NBC News, the La Paz County Sheriff determined that the skeletons were fake upon closer examination and were positioned in lawn chairs to have an “underwater tea party“:
A snorkeler first spotted the skeletons near a boat launch in Cienaga Springs and alerted authorities of possible human remains around 10:00 a.m. on Monday. La Paz County Sheriff deputies and the Buckskin Fire Department responded to the call and sent a diver down with a video camera to inspect the scene.
“When firefighter Foerstner located the alleged remains, he found it to be an underwater tea party with two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement.
The site being held by one of the skeletons was hard to read, but it featured the words, “Bernie,” “Dream in the river,” and the date August 16th, 2014. Someone was obviously a big fan of Weekend At Bernie’s and who can blame them, it’s a fantastic franchise.
