Hanging Corpse Admired as Sculpture on Campus
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Police on Friday removed the corpse of a man believed to have hanged himself at least a year ago after builders and students at Budapest's University of Arts had initially mistaken it for a modern sculpture.
The body hung for a whole day in a garden building that had been re-opened for repairs before onlookers realized what it was and called the police, local media said.
The building, in campus grounds crowded with different types of sculpture, had been closed five years ago pending reconstruction work.

Not to make light of this but you have to admit, that was something he did in the series at least once an episode. I'd have thought it was part of the act too if I was there. i guess it was a great example of crying wolf too often, heh?
