    I don't know what is worse -- that someone didn't even check before sending it off for a post mortem, or the fact that I immediately thought "Oooooh ... JohnM". :doh:

    I cannot believe they figured it out as soon as they did.
    Generally Asians are not a "think outside the box" curveball-hitting culture like America.

    Perhaps they thought the body was a respected elder, so the cops didn't want to touch it until it gave them permission. :unsure:

    Why wouldn't the police be fooled? They've been daydreaming about life-size dolls for a long time now...

    I have this all figured out.

    Someone said "rife-sized" doll, and they thought it was "wife-sized" doll, due to flawed englation. They then didn't want to see some old woman.

    Duh.
