Google Street View Pictures Capture Girl's 'Body' Sprawled On Sidewalk

Huffington Post     First Posted: 08/12/10 12:04 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 06:20 PM ET

Residents of a Worcester neighborhood in the UK feared foul play when they saw a Google Street View image showing what seemed to be a girl's corpse sprawled on the sidewalk of Middle Road.

''When we heard about the Street View images we had a look at our street and thought it was really cool," one resident told the Sun. "When you see a young girl face-down on the pavement you wonder what on earth has happened to her." The girl can be seeing lying with her face against the pavement and with her shoes scattered around her body (See pictures below).

While many feared that the girl was dead or injured, she was in fact playing a prank on her friend that, by coincidence, was captured on Google Street View's camera. Ten-year-old Azura Beebeejaun explained to the Daily Mail, "I didn't know anything about the Google Street View car. I fell over while I was playing with my friend and thought it would be funny to play dead. I heard a car go past me but had no idea I was having my picture taken, I was just playing a joke on my friend."

One neighbor said the ruckus caused by the Google Street View picture was "hilarious."

What do you think-funny or freaky? See the bizarre image, and other mysterious Google Street View images, in the slideshow below.

I have an idea, put the towers along our southern borders! Hell, the technology is already available.
What do you say DHS? It is worth a TRY!.

Isn't that a usual sight, seeing someone sprawled on the side of the street? Heck, people here, just walk on past. No biggy!

She was protesting Google's tiered Internet pricing deal with Verizon, and she had to be silenced.

This is a great example of an interesting Google Street View Sighting. Kind of sad to see this one received much more publicity than a Google Street View sighting of the same kind, this time not faked, in Mexico: http://goo.gl/PjNw

Quite the sense of humor, this lass has!
I'm sure she's so booked for parties she has to turn some down.

She's just coming home from the pub. No big deal.

I would totally have done the same thing as the girl - except I would have done better staging. Add a little fake blood, etc. :)

She didn't even know she was being photographed, if she did maybe she would have made it more believeable. I would have.

The Google street view team follows the Prime Directive.

They either did not see her or they were too busy hacking local wireless networks to bother.

They only interact with other life forms who have Street View technology.

Probably someone said this already, but I think she got in the way of Googles attempts to corporatize the Internet & invade everyones privacy.

Google van ran her down, because she just got in the way.
