The man is thought to have suffered a gruesome death as it shows signs of a violent blow to the head before his corpse was tossed into the crypt. One skull shows signs of a serious fracture through the forehead suggesting a violent death – but scientists say it's unlikely a massacre took place at the site. Fragments of medieval skulls and bones were found during the restoration of a 12th Century building in Coventry in 2014.
