Pokémon GO: 11 Insane Player Stories You Won't Believe Actually Happened

11. Woman Finds Dead Body While Hunting For Pokémon

With its semi-random generation of Pokémon wherever you go, Pokémon GO can sometimes take people pretty far off the beaten track, which is great for encouraging exercise and exploration. But it can also lead to some precarious situations, as Shayla Wiggins can attest to.

19-year-old Shayla, from Wyoming, was out hunting for water-based Pokémon, so naturally went down to the river to look for them (the game cleverly adapts the Pokemon you find to your surroundings). Instead of finding a Squirtle however, or even a lowly Magikarp, she discovered a dead body face down in the water.

"It was pretty shocking," said Wiggins. "I didn't really know what to do at first. But I called 911 right away and they came really quickly." Police say a wild Gyarados was seen swimming downriver on the same day, and could be connected with the crime.

Just kidding (inappropriate, I know). The police are saying it was an accident. Despite the macabre discovery, Wiggins said she'd go back to the river in pursuit of Pokémon. That's the kind of dedication required to become a Pokémon Master!
