The body was that of a man who had been reported missing, according to Euro News Weekly, though no foul play is suspected. Spanish media has reported that the unnamed man had somehow dropped his cellphone inside the giant figure, fell inside while trying to retrieve it and was unable to climb out or call for help.

No word on the victim's blood alcohol content?

Killed by a dinosaur? Bet few people can claim that one.

Been a while since seeing that headline?

If he fell in to retrieve his cell phone, why wasn’t he able to call for help? Don’t they have 911 or something similar over there?

The Dinosaurs in Texas are made of sterner stuff (concrete, actually) than to suffer a punctured gut that way.

Yes, that stuck in a dinosaur craw cause of death may be hard to swallow?

You would think all those flies and the stink of the rotting flesh would have been a big clue.

There was a somewhat similar case of a teenage boy who died trying to sneak into a house by going down the chimney. He got stuck, couldn’t go up or down, no one could hear him cry for help. He was trying to rob the house and he knew the occupants were going to be on vacation. Not that much fun.

Irony of ironies: Stegs are thought to be herbivores.

And that’s what makes it fun.

Note to self: Always carry a folding step ladder when climbing inside a dinosaur statue.

Cell reception was very poor during the age of dinosaurs.

A cautionary tale, to be sure. If a dinosaur eats your phone, don’t go in trying to retrieve it— even if said dinosaur is but paper-mache.
