Police in New South Wales, Australia, have confirmed that a suitcase found near Goulburn contained a lifelike sex doll, not human remains. Two men on a weekend drive spotted the bag on Wolgon Road and alerted authorities, believing they had found a woman's body. The doll was dressed, had hair and a nose piercing, and bore markings resembling bruises and grazes. Forensic testing at a laboratory established the contents were not human. Police said they were called around 12.50 pm on Sunday after members of the public reported what appeared to be human remains inside a bag. The item was sent for examination and subsequently identified as a lifelike doll. No further police action is expected.
