A Florida apartment concierge who mistook the dead body of a 96-year-old resident for a mannequin has been fired, local media report.

The man thought the corpse was part of an April Fools' Day joke when he saw it early on Tuesday in the city of St Petersburg.

Police say the elderly woman, Nancy Yates, had jumped from her 16th-floor balcony and left a suicide note.

The concierge sought the help of a newspaper delivery woman and her son to move the body to a bin, where it was found hours later by a janitor.

Officials say the concierge will not be charged because detectives believe he sincerely thought the woman's body was a mannequin.

When they moved the body, they didn't know it was an actual human?

I'm guessing even seebell would know the difference, having handled and fondled many a mannequin in his day. :biggrin2:

My question is why did it take her 96 years to decide she wanted to kill herself?

VJ, do you have a Florida news alert shooting you notifications or something? Florida is feeling stalked.

Yeah - at 96 the fact she was able to climb on the window or the ledge had her beating the odds.

Charmin has the patent on one of those sirens atop his computer that sounds off whenever there's a gay thread posted.

I have the same thing for the Florida updates.
