A concept artist triggered an Interpol murder hunt when grisly photographs she'd taken of herself posing as a corpse were sent to the police.
Sigrid Fleckseder and partner Christian Thomas had taken the realistic snaps showing her apparently dead on a river bank with ripped clothing as part of a project titled 'The Four Seasons of Death.'
But when they handed the memory stick to a local electronics store in Vienna, Austria, the horrified staff sent them to their head office in Germany who immediately called in Interpol detectives.
One grim image shows the apparently lifeless woman's 'body' face down in the grass with her skirt lifted at the back and her top torn up to reveal her bra.
"They were very convincing. They fooled several police forces," said one police source.
