When it comes to snorkeling, I just have to pass on this experience. I’m not a huge fan of water, and I’m even less of a fan of being in the water in a tight, confined space swimming towards the unknown. Recently a person was snorkeling in Parker, Arizona and they went for a dive near the Cienega Springs boat ramp which is on the Colorado River. Their dive was cut short when they made a startling and gruesome discovery. Because the discovery scared them so much, they ended up calling the La Paz County Sheriff’s Department to investigate rather than looking into it on their own. The snorkeler ended up finding two skeletons who were both seated in lawn chairs. Was this a prank or a grave discovery of two people that suffered an untimely death?
#1 A Snorkeler In The Colorado River Found This Scary Site!
A diver was having underwater fun in Parker, Arizona near the Cienega Springs boat ramp which is on the Colorado River, when he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Soon the La Paz County Sheriff's Department came to investigate..
#2 A Buckskin Fire Department Diver Was Dispatched..
When the La Paz Sheriff's Department arrived at the scene, they decided to give the job over to the Fire Department who ended up finding two skeletons seated in lawn chairs. Was it a gruesome watery grave or something else?
#3 The Sheriff’s Department Reports It's Not A Crime Scene..
The skeletons were covered in algae, and rested against a rock that had settled on the floor of the lake. Apparently they were found by the Fire Department diver to be fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs, having a cup of tea underwater. What?
#4 A Sign Referencing Comedy, 'Weekend At Bernie’s.'
One of the skeletons held a sign that said, "Bernie living the dream in the river August 16, 2014," likely referencing the hilarious, dark 1989 comedy movie, about two guys pretending their "murdered employer is really alive," all the while with wacky mishaps.
#5 La Paz Sheriff’s Social Media's Notable Mention..
Although it resulted in a complete waste of resources, this is a pretty hilarious and elaborate joke that someone decided to play. I can only imagine how scared the snorkeler was when they came across the two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs having a tea party. The Sheriff's Department has decided not to pursue the person behind this prank and have actually put the two skeletons on display outside of their station to keep the prank going.
