Creepy find during party night: Men think severed head is decoration
Edinburgh - During a wild night of partying, a group of men were walking through an alleyway in Edinburgh when they saw a head lying in the street. Convinced it was a leftover Halloween decoration, one of the men grabbed the hair and lifted it up - but then came the shock: it was a real human head!
This incident took place last Saturday evening in Scotland.
A video circulating on the platform X (formerly Twitter) shows the horrific moment.
The unidentified man immediately dropped his head when he realized it was not a decoration.
The police were immediately alerted, who cordoned off the entire street and began investigating. All the surrounding stores had to close immediately.
The police are investigating the course of the accident
As The Sun now reports, the identity of the deceased has been established: It is 74-year-old Michael Leneghan.
It is believed that he fell into the road and was hit by a bus, which ultimately decapitated him.
Police stated that the investigation is ongoing and urge anyone who saw anything that evening to contact authorities.
"Our investigation is still ongoing. We have already spoken to several people who were in the area at the time and are reviewing public and private surveillance video," a police spokesman said.
