In this frame from video provided by the La Paz Sheriffs’ Office, fake skeletons are strategically placed to appear as if they were sitting together with their lawn chairs bound to large rocks in the Colorado River near the Arizona and California border. A man snorkeling came across the two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs about 40 feet underwater and reported the skeletons to the La Paz County Sheriff’s Office on Monday, launching a hunt for what authorities believed could be real bodies. It turned out the skeletons were fake.
