Cockroach (so giant?!) is rather impossible, because of the lack of pronotum. A bee is an iterressting alternative though rather impossible suggestion. I have lately herd a rationable point from my lepidopteraen colegue. For him it is evidentely a smashed body of Death's Head Hawk-moth (Acherontia atropos)! All the structures of the abdomen have here its well representation; and size also fits well.
