Bones which lay undisturbed in the branches for 29 years A skeleton which lay undisturbed in a tree for 29 years has been found in Germany.

A teenage boy walking in the woods of Bruckberg, Bavaria in southern Germany made the gruesome discovery. He spotted what looked like human bones in the branches half way up a tree and quickly called the police.

Officers climbed up the 11 metre-high tree to find the remains of a man.Investigations revealed it was the body of a 69-year-old pensioner who disappeared in 1980. It is believed the man tied himself to a branch of the tree with rope and shot himself - and then lay undiscovered for decades.
