July 17 (UPI) -- A 911 call about a person trapped in the rushing water of a canal led emergency responders in California to the discovery of a discarded blow-up doll.
Fresno police and firefighters were summoned to the canal near McKinley and Peach Avenues on a report of a person, possibly deceased, trapped against a grate by the rushing water.
They arrived to find that what initially appeared to be a body was, in fact, a life-sized blow-up doll.
Authorities alerted the irrigation district to have the doll removed.

About 15 years ago I was walking along a busy roadway near the Oakland airport. I saw what appeared to be a hand and arm submerged in a canal. There was a CHP officer in an eatery across the road and I told him what I saw.
Several minutes later a fire truck with a crane arrived on the scene, lowering a man in a hazmat suit into the water. Turns out it was kick boxing dummy.
I truly dislike spellcheck changing my words. I’m a horrible typist, but I did not type “person.”
Understood - go back to “my day” and don’t depend on technology of today...I simply use a computer keyboard and no interference with what I type. Trust me - the OLD way is far better AND don’t trust anyone who says “trust me.”
Now that creates an image.

Apparently some blow up doll just got sick of too much sex and decided to leave its pervert.
Just because I lost track of her doesn't mean you can judge me!
The comments here, didn’t disappoint!
Talky Tina, the doll, made Savalas fall down his home stairs and die, in that Twilight Zone story.IIRC
FYI
I remember seeing a blowup doll that got “rescued “ and put out on the porch at an apartment fire many years ago.
Your doll?.......
