Can you just take a second and imagine coming across something like that?

After the grim discovery on Monday, La Paz County Sheriff was alerted and divers sent down to investigate.

As it turns out the skeletons were fake and the whole thing had been staged by… someone.

"When fire-fighter Foerstner located the alleged remains, he found it to be an underwater tea party with two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs," the sheriff's department said in a statement to NBC news.

One of the skeletons was wearing a sign that featured the words 'Bernie,' and 'Dream in the river', and the date 'August 16th, 2014'

So the mysterious prankster is a 'Weekend at Bernies' fan.
