Perhaps it’s a good thing that scarecrows can’t talk.

An Argentinian man died while having sex with a scarecrow that he had fitted with a six-inch strap-on penis, police believe.

He had also painted a mouth onto it with lipstick, and given it a wig, before having sex.

Police found the rotting corpse of Jose Alberto, 58, lying next to his ‘lover’.


Rodolfo Moure, a spokesman for the prosecutor, said: ‘I initially thought there were two bodies but then I realised one was a scarecrow wearing lipstick and a long-haired wig.

‘It was lying next to the deceased and had a six-inch strap-on penis.



‘There were no signs of violence and we are working on the assumption that the man died during sex with the scarecrow

‘Straw had been stuffed inside the old clothes that had been sewn together to make the scarecrow.

‘We are now waiting the results of an autopsy.’

Alberto was described as a ‘loner’ by neighbours.
