Someone Decapitated a 'Crusader' Mummy in Ireland and Ran Off with Its Head

The head of an 800-year-old mummy known as "The Crusader" has been lopped off and stolen from its crypt below St. Michan's Church in Dublin.

The vandals "have destroyed these historic mummies which have been preserved in St Michan's for hundreds of years," Dublin Archbishop Michael Jackson says, per TheJournal.ie.
