The body of a missing man has been found inside a dinosaur statue in Barcelona, Spain.

The 39-year-old man’s body was discovered in a papier-mache stegosaurus statue outside the Cubic Building in Santa Coloma de Gramenet after police said a father and son had noticed a smell coming from it.

The father saw the body through a crack in the stegosaurus’ hollow leg and alerted the authorities.

A spokesperson for the regional police force said they believe it was an accidental death and no violence was suspected.

The man had been reported missing just hours before his body was discovered.

The man was reportedly trying to retrieve his cellphone that dropped inside the statue when he fell inside and was trapped upside down.
