A pensioner had the shock of his life when he raced to save a woman washed up on the beach - but discovered a human-size headless sex doll
Chris Ford, 67, was looking for driftwood after a recent storm when he came across the silicone female body lying face down.
He quickly called his partner over to take pictures and they both left in hysterics speculating where it came from.
Chris, of Portland, Dorset, said: "It was a human-like figure but was too clean and too pretty - and it did not have a head. Apart from its lack of a face it was very anatomically correct. So as soon as I got to her I knew it was a sex doll.
"It just caught me by surprise, but we can only speculate where it came from.
"It is a busy shipping channel with loads of boats so it could have come from one of them.
"I just chuckled and found the whole things hilarious."
Chris said he left the doll in-situ on Chesil beach after the find on Sunday and it was later cleared away.
He added: "Another beach cleaner dragged it up near the bins and it was cleaned up with the rubbish - so I don't think she had the greatest or most glamourous ending.
"I shared the pictures and it seems to have got a lot of interest. It is a great humorous story."
The find comes at the same time police confirmed what Chris thought was a human arm he discovered was in fact a large mammal.
He said: "On December 8 in a storm I found what looked like a human forearm on the beach. It had five fingers which were longer than normal so I contacted the police. They came down and carried out forensics but they have just confirmed to me it was in fact a mammal.
"That one took a bit longer than to get to the bottom of than identifying the sex doll."
