    SEATTLE --

    Seattle police and fire personnel raced to Second Avenue and Virginia Street in Belltown after receiving a report of a man dangling from a rope, about eight stories up.

    Scanner traffic said the man was believed to be a painter who was unresponsive.

    The dangling sign painter turned out to be a dummy that is part of an ad display for Lifewise Health Plan.

    The dummy is slumped over with a paint bucket next to it, as if an accident had occurred.

    The text above on the sign says “A dependable health plan that’s there when you need it.”
