Human remains reported in Colo. River, 'tea party' found

La Paz County sheriff's deputies received a disturbing report late Monday morning when a resident who was snorkeling in the Colorado River said human remains were located near the Cienega Springs boat launch.

The Buckskin Fire Department sent a diver down to investigate with an underwater video camera and recorded the footage as he saw it, officers said.

The firefighter located the "remains" and found it to be an underwater tea party with two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs, according to video footage.

Sheriff's officials said the call was "resource intensive" but investigators were relieved to find the plastic remains instead of the real thing.
