Police Mistake Drunk Man Wrapped Inside Bin Bag For Dead Body

Police Mistake Drunk Man Wrapped Inside Bin Bag For Dead Body

This guy must have been trashed

Ever had a rough night? Ever gone so hard that the cops have tried to wake you up because you've fallen asleep in a bin bag and they think you're a corpse?

Well, you're a fucking amateur then, because that's exactly what happened to one guy in Brazil last Saturday.

There he was, just trying to grab some peaceful shut-eye when he was rudely awakened by the busies because they'd had a tip-off that there had been a body dumped.

The tip-off came from a dog walker - up there with joggers form prime suspects in any murder case - in the Praia Grande resort of Sao Paolo. His pet went off to sniff about in a cordoned off area but pulled a human foot out of a bin bag, presumably terrifying the poor guy.

For goodness' sake, don't do this.

When he saw no movement from within the bag, he did what any right-minded citizen would do, called the coppers.

He reported that there were 'body parts cut up and left in a sack'. Sure, he was scared, but also slightly dramatic by the sounds of it.

One the military police arrived, they had a look into the bags with a torch and saw what they thought was the pale skin of a dead person. They were half right, I guess.

Imagine their shock when, as they waited for forensic investigators to arrive, the deceased 'murder victim' suddenly awoke from the dead and started to move again.

Corporal Sergio Passos told G1: "When we arrived at the scene, we briefly inspected the bag from a distance and close up came to the same conclusion that the contents looked like the remains of a dismembered body.

"We didn't disturb the scene, so any incriminating evidence would be kept intact for forensic investigators to analyse and taken to the lab for examination."

"We were terrified when he suddenly came to life. But afterwards thankful that this wasn't a murder case."

What followed was much like the natural beauty of a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis, but instead it was a drunken, shirtless man, wearing only a pair of Bermuda shorts.

Slowly, but surely, he emerged from his cocoon, much to the terror of the gathered law enforcement personnel.

Admittedly, it took a few minutes for him to be able to answer any questions - let's not forget that the guy was so pissed that he fell asleep in a bin bag on a construction site - but he did eventually offer some answers.

Passos continued: "He told us he had drunk so much after a hard night of partying and when he found a black plastic bag in a secluded area, decided to wrap himself inside it to keep off the cold," Passos continued.

"After we had calmed down from the shock, we checked to see he was fine and offered to take him home as it wasn't safe to leave him there."

To their further bemusement, the unnamed man declined their offer. He simply tried to bed down again. This time, the police stopped him.

They took him home with a warning not to get too pissed and sleep on a building site again. Perhaps his hangover the next day would have been a more effective deterrent.

Until next weekend, I guess.

Oh, and it should go without saying, but definitely DO NOT put a fucking plastic bag over your head.
