A five day hunt for a missing northern Colorado man ended when his decomposing body was discovered in a locked movie theater bathroom.

Fort Collins authorities say George DeGrazio, 66, of Loveland, died of a heart attack inside the locked family restroom of the Cinemark theater on Jan. 9, the same day his family reported him missing.

Ticket-takers broke down the bathroom door on Saturday after noticing a sickening smell, authorities said.

An autopsy showed that DeGrazio died from a heart attack caused by severe coronary artery disease.

DeGrazio's anguished family slammed the theater management for not doing more to find their father after his red Nissan Xterra was found in the movie house's lot on Wednesday.

Okay one, Why didn't they check the bathrooms more often? How often DO they clean that bathroom? And two, I go to that theater all the time!

Wow, that's disturbing... You would think they would check the bathrooms at least every couple hours and especially check every night before they leave.

That's quite sad but I find it disturbing. I thought a body took less than 5 days to smell of decomp and no one cleaned that bathroom or had to use it while at the movies? Also, if his car was last seen at the theater, would the police not search it?

Ditto what has already been posted about it being 5 days without that restroom being checked or cleaned.

Yea. I'm glad I never had to use the bathrooms there.

I wonder if they'll shut down the theater now that people know there was a dead body in it? I sure hope not...

Moral of this story is this:
-Quit greasy food
-Wait til you get home to use the bathroom
-Get a good lawyer
-Find the staff in charge of cleaning the bathroom during the shift the old man disappeared and died.

If it's a well frequented place by people, it's not likely it will shut down as a result of it. Although it may make people a bit uneasy at first, using the bathroom..but they should all fizzle out with time...death is a natural thing afterall..even though this case is a bit creepy.
