Canadian first responders apologize for tossing human body in trash after mistaking it for a mannequin


The Canadian first responders who mistakenly tossed a human body in a dumpster, have offered a heartfelt apology, explaining they mistook the badly burned remains for a mannequin.


Firefighters were responding to a “suspicious” brush fire in Sherbrooke, a town in Quebec just North of Vermont, on July 23 around 10 a.m. when they made the befuddling discovery, CBC News reported.


“When they arrived, witnesses declared that someone had lit a silicone mannequin on fire,” Sherbrooke Police Chief Danny McConnell said during a press conference on Thursday, held to address to the blunder.

“After discussions between the two departments, it was agreed that the mannequin would be disposed of in the container at the Sherbrooke police service, which cannot be accessed by members of the public.”

Just four hours after authorities tossed the woman’s body, her partner filed a missing person report.

Police said they were able to track her cellphone signal to a vehicle parked not far from where the fire was set. McConnell added that one officer noted the coincidence in location, prompting authorities to retrieve the body from the dumpster.

3. Do these responders have no sense of smell?

A burning body has to smell a lot different than a plastic mannequin.
