A nasty end for this man, when he was struck with a 300 kilogramme boiling mass back in 79 A.D. Archaeologists working the ancient city of Pompeii are excited at this discovery - the first skeleton to be found at the site in 40 years. Anthropologists say the 30-35 year-old man is likely to have survived Mount Vesuvius' first deadly ash fall, only to be killed by a lump of falling debris, probably part of a building, later. It's thought he had a limp, due to a bone infection in his leg, and that he was trying to escape when he was hit. The discovery has been welcomed by the UNESCO World Heritage site, which received EUR50 million last year from the EU to continue work on the site until 2020.
