Dead pupating monarch?

I sadly found this dead monarch pillar upon returning home this afternoon. He has looked to split his skin right in the middle, so there was a bright green bit poking out of the skin with the remainder of the skin still intact on him although wrinkled looking like it was to be shed. With any others ive seen pupating im sure the split started at bottom. So it It had hung normally and looked fine at lunchtime (he has been raised indoors although the window was open).

Does this look like anything anyone has seen before?
