Groundskeeper mows around dead body thinking it was Halloween prop, police and family say
A groundskeeper mowed around a body in a North Carolina yard because he thought it was a prop for a Halloween display, officials said.
Police in China Grove said the body of 34-year-old Robert Paul Owens was found near an abandoned house on Oct. 10.
Police said they received a call about a dead body in the area and arrived to find Owens in the grass.
Investigators found that a groundskeeper initially saw the body on Oct. 9 when he was mowing the property. However, the worker told police he thought the body was a dummy used as a prop, so he did not report it.
