A doll without a head has triggered a large-scale deployment of police and firemen near the town of Weinstadt in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
"It looked just like a human corpse," a police spokesman told Stuttgarter Nachrichten, commenting on the operation.
The police were reportedly called to the scene after a passer-by spotted the suspicious "body" on the outskirts of the town.

The Associated Press wrote that the doll was of human height and dressed in ordinary clothes, covered with stains that looked like human blood.
In January, a beheaded doll was found near an Amsterdam mosque. A note left on the doll's chest warned against "Islamization" in the Netherlands and was supposedly left by members of a far-right group.
