In Buenos Aires this week, authorities discovered a 58-year-old man lying dead in a field next to a scarecrow with a six-inch strap-on ****, reported Metro UK.

The deceased, a one Jose Alberto, had presumably dressed the scarecrow in lipstick and a wig before strapping on the phallic device — though that remains to be seen.

“I initially thought there were two bodies,” said spokesperson Rodolfo Moure for the local prosecuting attorney’s office. “But then I realized one was a scarecrow wearing lipstick and a long-haired wig … lying next to the deceased and had a six-inch strap-on ****.”

Moure also told the press that “there were no signs of violence” and, while they await the autopsy results, believe that the sex was of mutual consent.

Alberto was a sheep herder and had lived by himself. A neighbor, who described him to police as a “loner,” found his body after detecting the smell of death.

But how did Alberto die? Wouldn’t you like to know. A study in Brazil that was released earlier this year claims the “reverse cowgirl” is the most dangerous of sex positions that could potentially cause physical harm or, theoretically, even death. I trust the detectives on the case have taken this into account?
