It is a suburban scene much like millions of others on Google's Street View site... apart from one chilling addition.
Lying face down on the pavement, her shoe inches away in the gutter, is the body of a young girl.
Anxious residents browsing their on-screen neighbourhood contacted Google about the image fearing they had chanced on a murder scene.
The the truth emerged. The 'body' belonged to ten-year-old Azura Beebeejaun who has revealed she was 'playing dead' as a prank outside her home in Middle Road, Worcester.

Mrs Beebeejaun, a youth worker, said: ‘I understand how some people might have thought the picture looked like a dead body - I just wish she was that quiet all the time.
‘A couple of people on the road have mentioned to me a few weeks ago that they had seen a picture of a girl lying on the floor on our street.
‘I assumed it was my daughter because she is always playing around on the pavement outside.
‘But I never really thought one picture would cause such a commotion.’

Does Google inform nearby residents when they will be doing street view pics? how'd she know?

Funny as hell, though!

Intersting if it was just a chance or she knew the picture was being taken. By the way, mom needs to tone down the hair a little. Now my eyes hurt.

She says she didn't know. Just her good luck that the Google car passed by at that moment!

Her innocent game just happened to coincide with the arrival of a Google Street View car to record the images of the road.

Azura said: ‘I didn’t know anything about the Google Street View car (recording me). I fell over while I was playing with my friend and thought it would be funny to play dead.

‘I’m quite chuffed I’m on the internet. It is quite funny and I can’t wait to tell my classmates when I go back to school.’
