The site is not allowing me to scroll down to read the whole article.

It stops where it says "police say foul play was NOT involved".

WTF?

Bad guys killed him, and then hid him inside the dinosaur!

He obviously didnt just decide one day to crawl inside of a statue, and then...just die of old age while in the dinosaur!

Body Of Missing Man Found In Spanish Dinosaur Statue
By Jason Hall

May 24, 2021


The body of a missing 39-year-old man was found inside the leg of a dinosaur statue in Spain.

BBC.com reports the man's body was discovered after a father and son noticed a smell coming from inside the papier-mâché figure in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, a suburb of Barcelona, and the father spotted the corpse through a crack in the Stegosaurus statue's leg.

Police said the body was identified as a man reported missing by his family and don't expect foul play in relation to the incident.

Three fire brigade teams responded to the scene and cut open the dinosaur leg to retrieve the body after it was discovered and reported to authorities by the father and son. Local media outlets report the man -- who has not yet been identified publicly by police -- was trapped inside the decorative statue after dropping his phone inside and trying to retrieve it. The man was left trapped upside down and couldn't call for help, according to police. Authorities have not confirmed how the man specifically ended up inside the statue and are awaiting autopsy results to see what caused his death.

The Stegosaurus statue has since been removed from its location outside the Cubic Building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, where it served to advertise an old cinema.

He shouldn’t go in after his phone if he don’t know the way out.

The Grim Reaper can getcha all kindsa ways. Even bizarre ways...like this.

But the stegosaurus was made of paper mache. So you think he could have screamed for help and someone could have ripped the dinosaur open.
