A Spanish mayor’s ex-husband was mysteriously found dead in a dumpster when horrified sanitation workers emptied it into a garbage truck — and saw his legs sticking out just before it was crushed.
Businessman Vicente Dominguez, 45, was spotted among the trash being dumped into the truck in Castellon on Sunday, local outlet Castellon al Dia reported.
Workers who saw his legs poking out then managed to quickly stop the truck’s compression system from crushing the body.
Dominguez — who was once married to the adjacent town’s mayor, Maria Tormo — was likely already dead when his body was dumped into the truck, authorities said.
His cause of death still hasn’t been confirmed but Dominguez’s body was covered in “bumps and bruises” consistent with a beating, according to law enforcement sources.
The mayor’s ex, who had a rap sheet, reportedly suffered from alcohol-related problems and had fallen on hard times.
Authorities are probing whether his death is tied to possible drug traffickers settling scores, the outlet said.
Cops are reviewing nearby surveillance footage and are awaiting autopsy results.
