I know the POTC ride had a bunch of real skulls (and a few are still there) because, at the time, they were cheaper and easier to get then good looking fakes.
there was apparently one amusement park ride that ended up getting its hands on a literal corpse of a human, only to be discovered when one of the arms broke off while someone was moving it.
apparently, the corpse in particular, was that of a notorious criminal who nobody really liked, so some fuckwit decided it would be funny to preserve his body and put it up for exhibition. And then it just kinda, continued from there, until it was discovered.
there was definitely room somewhere along the line for numerous parties to never discover it, but at some point somebody inevitably would’ve discovered it, preserved bodies aren’t exactly the most “durable” of things.
It’s only 1 still inside the ride. I can’t remember if it was always only one but it’s the skull on the crossbones above the throne towards the end of the ride.

I remember that body being found but I didn’t hear they figured it out
