Investigators Await Results on Teddy Bear Wrapped in Apparent Human Skin

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 14 – The teddy bear is confirmed as a latex art piece from DarkSeed Creations, a South Carolina Etsy shop known for horror props, with over 20 similar items in customer baskets.

  • San Bernardino County deputies responded Sunday to a Victorville gas station after discovering a teddy bear resembling stitched human skin outside the AMPM store.

  • Residents and authorities remain alarmed as the coroner's investigation continues into the disturbing bear, with officials not confirming if remains are human or a prank.
  • Victorville's coroner’s office is analyzing the material, with future police action uncertain pending forensic results and creator’s admission, investigations remain ongoing.
