A police helicopter and patrol cars were sent to assist a 'lifeless
body' in Düsseldorf, Germany, that turned out to be less of an emergency
than originally expected.
A train passenger called the police on Tuesday to report a body wearing
red trousers and a blue jacket that he had seen out of the window near
the tracks.
Police immediately rushed patrol cars and a helicopter to the scene .
They quickly identified the limp figure as a partially-deflated Papa
Smurf, or Papa Schlumpf, as he is known in German.
Finding that the little character was suffering from nothing worse than a
slight lack of helium and took him back to the police station - safely secured against any mishap en route.
But once back at the station, they were unable to contact any of the victim's blue-skinned relatives. "The emergency call from the witness was completely justified," police said in a statement. "Under different conditions, it could have saved lives." They added that everyone should report dangerous situations.
