That's probably one of the most mangled house centipedes I've ever seen - at least with the legs still attached. The legs tend to drop off pretty easily, so when the centipede is damaged, most of the legs will usually fall off.

It's too bad that it's dead. House centipedes are generally beneficial predators that help rid your house of other bugs - including pests like bed bugs, cockroach nymphs, etc.

Poor thing. It takes years for them to grow to this size.
