Authorities said on Wednesday that a zombie apocalypse had not occurred in central Wisconsin despite the discovery of an empty casket along a rural highway over the weekend.

當局週三說，儘管週末在鄉間一條公路上發現一具空棺材，威斯康辛州中部並未發生殭屍末日。

A driver alerted authorities after spotting the casket on Saturday on the side of a road in the city of Friendship, about 80 miles north of Madison, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said.

亞當斯郡警長辦公室說，一名司機週六在麥迪遜北方約80英里處的弗倫德希普市一條路旁，看到該具棺材後通報當局。

On Wednesday, an unidentified man came forward to claim the casket, telling authorities that it fell out of a boat he was pulling with his truck, according to a sheriff’s office Facebook post.

根據警長辦公室臉書一則貼文，一名身分不明的男子週三出面認領該具棺材，並告訴當局，棺材是從他用卡車拖著的船上掉下。

"There was no sign that it was ever used for a burial," Adams County Deputy Joe LeBreck said. "We had no concerns that we had a grave robbery or a zombie apocalypse here." （Reuters）

亞當斯郡副警長喬．勒布瑞克說：「看不出棺材曾用於葬禮的跡象。」「我們不擔心我們這裡有盜墓事件或殭屍末日。」（路透）
