The remains of an elderly man have been found at his cave-house in Baza, Granada province.
Local residents notified the police after they hadn’t seen the old man for a few days and when the officers went to investigate, they found just a few bones. It is thought that after the man died, his dogs, of which he had a dozen, devoured the body as they were unable to get outside to find food.
All indications are that the man died from natural causes, although the remains have been taken for forensic examination. The house has been sealed and the dogs have been transferred to a kennel.
