Woman Dies After Using Jackhammer As A Dildo

ARNDALE, OK - Investigators have closed an unsettling case of a 49-year-old female construction worker found dead in her driveway after a neighbor saw her using a high-powered jackhammer to pleasure herself.

After a two-day investigation in which officials initially suspected foul play, Shirley Dent's death, has now been ruled an accident "after severe internal distress induced by the machine was discovered," said Det.-Sgt. Karl Sprout of the Alpara County Sheriff's Office.

On May 1, a neighbor witnessed Ms. Dent naked in her driveway "struggling to direct a jackhammer toward her mid-section." The neighbor notified police after hearing ear-splitting moans of distress that carried over the raucous jackhammer. Police arrived to an unresponsive Ms. Dent. She was then transported to West Grenier Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

She had been recently divorced and had been questioned by the police three times over the past month after neighbors complained of her running a prostitution ring from her home. Records also showed that Ms. Dent was an owner of a sex toy distributor.

A neighbor said, "She was a horny lady, especially after her husband moved out. My family could hear moans coming from her place all the time."
