A 66-year-old retired art teacher was found dead in a Colorado movie theatre on Saturday, five days after he was reported missing by his family.

George DeGrazio's body went unnoticed until cinema employees noticed a foul stench coming from the family bathroom of the multiplex.

Staff then alerted the duty managers and the grim discovery was made.

Loveland Missing Persons Department published a notice on January 9 and police had searched both the cinema and surrounding area after finding DeGrazio's red Nissan Xterra in the parking lot.

Larimer County Deputy Coroner, James MacNaughton, told 7News on Sunday that he had suffered a heart attack and no foul play was suspected.

However, his son, Dylan DeGraziois is furious that staff at the Cinemark in Fort Collins didn't find his father sooner.

He told Fox News: 'If I had the police department saying somebody disappeared in this area and we're trying to locate him, I would be searching every nook and cranny of my establishment. But that didn't happen.'

Speaking to 7News on the evening of the discovery, he lamented: 'I picture him just sitting there in this, like, slumped over, eyes-open position.

'That's just the sheer reality of it. For somebody who didn't know George, that is just a corpse rotting in a bathroom, and that disgusts me. That disgusts me.'

Cinemark corporate headquarters were slow to respond to the unfortunate circumstances over the weekend, issuing an overdue statement on Monday.

The company reassured the public: 'Cinemark is working closely with the Fort Collins Police and Loveland Missing Persons Department on this case.

'As the case is ongoing, we are not able to discuss the details of the investigation at this time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the DeGrazio family during this difficult period as they mourn the loss...

Sweet! I love baseballl stadiums and take tours whenver I can. If there isn’t a tour available, I can always find a way in, usually through the vendor’s gates like you said. The secret is looking like you “belong” there. The only stadium I got caught at was Baltimore’s Memorial stadium, and got thrown out. But I came back later ;)

I’ve been to many HS and college B-Ball games early and just went in and walked around until the stands started filling in. Not so much pros.

In the 60s it was easy to buy a General Admission ticket to the Angels and sneak down to the filed level sometimes right behind the plate or dugouts. Now that the Angels are good, not so easy.
