This is what happens to old Video Game characters when they age and people forget them, they die. This 35cm Pac-Man skeleton was created back in 2002 by Le Gentil Garcon with the aid of paleontologist Francois Escuilie. From the creators:

Study in plaster of a complete skeleton of Pac-man, created by extrapolation from a comparative observation of a human skull and different predatory animal skulls.

How very scientific, yet I dont see a way this skull could have ever collapsed into itself like Pac-Man did.
