Google Earth Finds a dead body?!?!

Do you ever use Google Earth Street View to take a look at your house, even though you LIVE in your house and you know what your house looks like, you just want to see your house on the internet? A few people in England were doing that, and they happened upon what looked like a dead body.



So they did the sensible thing. Fearing that the had chanced upon a murder scene... they contacted Google.
When I fear I’ve chanced on a murder scene, I too go straight to Google - where I Google “POLICE.” (Sometimes I also Google “police + nudes” out of force of habit.)
Turns out no one was dead on the street, it was just a “prank” by a little girl. She was playing outside, tripped, and thought it would be “funny” to just lay there for a while. Right then the Google car drove by, and captured her “prank.” That is what fun looks like in England.



Also, they don’t celebrate the 4th of July. It basically sucks over there.
But dead bodies aren’t the only shocking images possible on Google Street View. Here’s a handy guide of what to do for different shocking Google Street View images.
