A major QLD police investigation into a body found wrapped in a blanket by the side of a busy highway has concluded, after it turned out to be a "life-like replica doll".
Officers were called to the Bruce Highway near Bowen, in Queensland's Whitsunday region about 200km south-east of Townsville, around 7am on Friday after receiving reports of a body on the side of the road.
"Police were called to reports of a body wrapped in a blanket on a trail off the Bruce Highway," QLD Police said in a statement.
"Forensic officers commenced investigations which have concluded the body is a life-like replica doll of a human."
The Courier-Mail newspaper reported it was a "sex doll",
Earlier in the day, police, detectives and forensic officers had commenced an investigation. Once the 'body' was found to be a doll, police disbanded the crime scene -- but the investigation is not over.
"Officers will continue investigations into the origins of the doll," QLD Police said.
