As summer begins, people are looking for any way to get out of the house and get some sun. With many beaches remaining closed, people are looking for new areas to sunbathe. However, this could lead to some uncomfortable situations, as a man in England had the cops called on him recently, after people mistook his nude sunbathing for a dead body.
Yesterday we had a call about a body within the railway boundary.
Railway workers could only see a pair of feet but reported no signs of life.
Rushing to the scene officers found a man in his late 30s enjoying some nude sunbathing.

Concerned railway workers spotted the body, seeing a pair of feet sticking out, with "no signs of life." Luckily, it turned out to be just a man sunbathing nude as it occurred when temperatures reached 77 degrees. "Let me lay it bare, the railway is not a place to sunbathe. Please keep away from the tracks," said a spokesperson for the railway.
Surprisingly this is not the first time a sunbather was spotted near the railway, according to the spokesperson. "It is not as uncommon as you might think," she said of nude sunbathers spotted near the railway. With beaches closed, it seems people are looking for new sights to see when sunbathing nude.
