Mystery: A missing person's body lies within a dinosaur figure

Order authorities were called on Saturday after two citizens, father and son, announced a bad smell coming from a figure in Santa Coloma de Gramnet, a Barcelona neighbourhood.

Father had then seen the corpse through an opening of the statue, reports the BBC.

Police said that for the man in question there was a police report after his family had declared him missing.

Three fire crews were called to the scene after the body was discovered, and firefighters opened the dinosaur's leg to get it.

Local media report that the man in question was trying to get the mobile phone that had fallen inside the statue. Then he had fallen into the decorative picture and was stuck there, unable to ask for help.

Police have not confirmed how the man in question ended up inside the dinosaur, but are waiting for the autopsy results to see what caused the death. /Periscope
