. . . and somehow went missing from the evidence locker the next day.

So wait, you’re telling me the police called in a specialist trained to deal with a specific situation rather than immediately pumping bullets and tasers into it? Color me fucking shocked.

If they didn’t touch it, how did they know the “body” was “dead”? What’s the visible difference between a dead body and an unconscious one with very shallow respiration?

But has the sex doll’s family gotten their own coroner to review the official findings?

If you ever want to ruin your enjoyment of a fun family movie just remember that sex dolls are alive in the Toy Story universe.

I guess, but if I come across a body on a railroad track, I’m not going to stand and watch its eyes to see if it’s alive. I’m going to touch a pulse point and check. And if it’s a sex doll, I figure my finger will tell me it is silicone, not flesh.

It probably hasn’t aged at all well, but this very much reminded me of the old Tom Sharpe farce, ‘Wilt’.

Uh - how do you know a body is dead with out checking? I mean, you can see obvious signs of death, sure. But someone recently deceased or unconscious could look the same.

Yet another argument for allowing applicants with 100 IQ and above to become police!

Reminds me of the scene from Sherlock where he describes how he found a dead man and started to try to figure out how the murder had been accomplished, while Watson examined the man, realized he wasn’t dead and proceeded to save his life.

Is the sex doll still viable? asking for a friend.

Having family that were police back in the day - if a cop touches a body that isn’t ‘proclaimed dead’ - many times the rules will force them to perform cpr until the coroner can proclaim TOD. In many cases if the position of the body is obvious with ‘no chance of survival’ they will wait for TOD to avoid having to blow air into a corpse for … quite a while.
