A snorkeler sparked a police hunt, after he spotted a couple of skeletons at the bottom of a river in the US.
He was terrified when he saw two skeletons sitting in lawn chairs at the bottom of the Colorado River, about 10 metres below the surface.
He reported them to the local county sheriff, who launched a hunt for what they thought were bodies.
Buckskin Fire Department sent one of their divers down to investigate.
But it turned out they were fake skeletons having a 'tea party' in chairs strapped to rocks, wearing sunglasses.
One was even holding a sign that said 'Bernie', apparently a reference to the film "Weekend at Bernie's."

The La Paz County Sheriff's Office will now recover the two skeletons.
"Although the call itself was resource intensive, both the Sheriff's Office and Buckskin Fire were happy to find that the remains weren't real and thanked the reporting party for making the call", the sheriff’s office said.
The diver took an underwater camera and video recorded the footage as he saw it:
