Remains of a 15th-century ' vampire' who was decapitated to stop him rising from the dead have been found in a medieval fortress in Croatia .

The man's body was dug up shortly after death, beheaded and reburied with his torso facing down.

His torso was arranged upside down with the head placed 30cm away, a 'massive brick' was also found between his legs and a huge rock placed beneath his head.

The 'vampire' was still recovering from a second injury, a blow which fractured several of his ribs, at the time of his death.

Finally, the researchers found a group of injuries to the skull inflicted by a sharp bladed weapon which showed no signs of healing, indicating that the wounds were fatal.
