A silicone sex doll "used for self gratification" was found by Pennsylvania authorities after it was initially believed to have been human remains, police said Monday. 

The Tunkhannock Township Police said officers were dispatched over a report of possible human remains inside a bag Sunday found by a man and his son. They were retrieving a ball from a creek when they found a black plastic bag with a foot sticking out.

Authorities called the Pennsylvania State Police, which responded and opened the bag. They determined it did not contain human remains. 

"We’ve seen this item referred to as a mannequin online," the police department said in a Facebook post. "That really isn’t accurate. This was a lifelike silicone item used for self gratification. It’s the size of a small child, weighs about 50 pounds and is anatomically correct."

"The foot we were able to observe through the bag was extremely detailed all the way down the French pedicure it had," the post said. 

The department that it expected comments on the social media post to be "interesting" but asked users to remember that "a child and their father found this. We wouldn’t want our children finding this."
