Criminology Students Find Real Dead Body at Mock Crime Scene in Fort Lauderdale
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (AP) -- Some high school criminology students in Fort Lauderdale got a taste of the real thing this morning.
Their teacher had set up a mock crime scene at Holiday Park for their class. The students were supposed to bag evidence, take pictures of the scene and try to solve the fake crime.
The students from St. Thomas Aquinas High School soon discovered a man's body and began taking notes and pictures as they were taught. But at the time, they didn't know it was a real dead person. One student even said he thought his teacher "planted it there." Once they realized it was the real deal, they notified their teacher and the police.
It's unclear how the man died, but the students believe it was a homeless man who likely died of natural causes. He was found laying on a cardboard bed and there were no obvious signs of trauma.
