Hanging Corpse Admired as Sculpture on Campus

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Police on Friday removed the corpse of a man
believed to have hanged himself at least a year ago after builders and
students at Budapest's University of Arts had initially mistaken it for
a modern sculpture.

The body hung for a whole day in a garden building that had been
re-opened for repairs before onlookers realized what it was and called
the police, local media said.

The building, in campus grounds crowded with different types of
sculpture, had been closed five years ago pending reconstruction work.
