In the first ever case of this trusted news network ever giving a piece of incorrect information, it has now emerged that the Bigfoot body, reported by Nuckpang in a recent press conference as being "definitely 100% genuine and real, no doubt about it whatsoever", was in fact a hoax.

The hoax was discovered when the ice-bound "body" was handed over to the "Searching for Bigfoot" group, a company dedicated to finding Bigfoot, for an undisclosed amount of money. As the body thawed and hair samples became exposed they were tested by those present, but suspicions were aroused when the hair was applied to flame and melted, curling into a ball in much the same way as plastic does. As the body defrosted further and the feet were exposed it became obvious that they were merely rubber. When contacted by the group Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the original discoverers, admitted the hoax, and quickly fled.

A spokesman for the group, Bob Schmalzbach, said "We thought this was an answer to a mystery that's been going on for far too long and the best term I can use is that it was heartbreaking. Literally." Medical experts are baffled as to how the defrosting of ice can cause a heart to literally break, but see it as a fascinating new area of coronary research.

As of yet it is not certain what the consequences of this will be for Mr. Whitton and Mr. Dyer, but Searching for Bigfoot Inc. insist that they will be pushing legal action, and the police are looking into arresting the men for fraud. They have both been fired from their jobs, one being a security guard and the other a policeman himself. While their whereabouts are currently unknown, if they want to stay out of court, and possibly prison, they had better find the real Bigfoot soon, and chill out where ever he's been hiding for this past century.
