PERTH, Ont. -- Provincial police are investigating after they say officers found a "bogus body" on train tracks in Perth, southwest of Ottawa.
Police were called just before 1 a.m. Monday to a Canadian Pacific Railway crossing where the barriers and lights appeared to be malfunctioning.
While at the scene, officers were told by railway employees that a train was stopped in town because the crew thought they had struck someone on the tracks.
Police say it turns out someone had placed objects on the tracks to resemble a body.
The train was able to resume service around 2:30 a.m.
It's unclear whether charges will be laid.
