The director decided to inspect the premises on Saturday (4 Jan) after complaints from neighbours about a foul smell.
She found the nursery school ransacked and was horrified when she came across the man’s body in a classroom.
The authorities in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, were called in to investigate and to remove the body.
Preliminary investigations suggest the man broke a window to gain entry to the nursery school to steal.
It’s believed he slipped while using a chair to climb out during his escape.
The authorities believe the man bled to death after cutting himself on the broken glass.
Because the school was closed over the festive period, his body went unnoticed for several days.
By the time it was found, it was in an advanced state of decomposition, as reported by NeedToKnow.
Forensic experts are now trying to work out the exact date of death.
They are also working to identify the deceased.
