Playing Pokémon Go can be a lot of fun and even lead to you getting some free stuff, but the game can become kind of a downer if it leads you to finding a dead body.

Amanda Titialii, Krystyl Estrada and her sister Apryl Lopez were hiking and playing Pokémon Go as part of a girls day out in Marian Bear Park in San Diego on Thursday afternoon when they made the discovery.

“We were just walking, a couple Pokémon pop up–we catch them and just go on our hike,” Estrada told NBC 7.

She said that when she first saw the body that she thought it was just some sticks, but then her military training kicked in and she realized it was actually a decomposing body under a tree that she believes he was using for shelter.

The hikers called 911 and police do not suspect foul play.

This marks the third dead body in the last week found byPokémon Go players.
