2000-yr-old remains of man crushed while fleeing volcano found
The headless skeleton of a man has been uncovered in Pompeii, Italy, who according to archaeologists likely escaped the first blast of Mount Vesuvius only to be crushed by a 300-kg rock flung by the volcanic eruption in 79 AD. The skeleton showed the man had an infection in his leg, which suggests he had difficulty in moving, said researchers.
