It is thought the body, and the head found nearby, are those of a man and they had been there for six months. Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Trust said none of its in-patients had been reported missing in that time.
It is understood the body had been there for about six months and that it may have been recently disturbed by animals. An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said the death did not appear to be suspicious adding that detectives were studying outpatient records as part of their attempts to identify the remains.
"A post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days to try to find the cause of death," he added. The hospital, in Marmalade Lane, specialises in treating patients with drug and alcohol problems and people with mental health issues. It also offers psychiatric intensive care for men compulsorily detained, usually in secure conditions.

"A post-mortem examination is due to take place in the next few days to try to find the cause of death," ? Seriously ? You wouldn't think having the head removed would be the cause ?
Not suspicious ? Not half !
You know...(s)he is capable of cutting off his/her own head. Your comment made me laugh, William.
A head can be removed from a dead body, too, you know. Maybe the animals that were mentioned have scattered the bones. It would be outright idiotic to say it's obvious the man was killed by decapitation.
@Insolitus you are dead right, but there will always be people who like to shoot off at the keyboard with only the minimum of facts.
The correct solution is usually the simplest one which explains ALL the observed facts. In this case it is obvious to anybody other than a Daily Mail reader that this story does not contain anything like all the observed facts. But there's always one.
