DNA analysis done on the body in 2018 found there were unusual mutations on the body. The height of the skeleton was only {{circa}} 6 inches (15 cm). The remains were discovered by Oscar Munoz, who later sold them to another owner. The current owner now is Ramón Navia-Osorio, a Spanish businessman.
