+A return statement was found outside of a function body.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0572
+const FOO: u32 = return 0; // error: return statement outside of function body
+
+fn main() {}
+```
+
+To fix this issue, just remove the return keyword or move the expression into a
+function. Example:
+
+```
+const FOO: u32 = 0;
+
+fn some_fn() -> u32 {
+    return FOO;
+}
+
+fn main() {
+    some_fn();
+}
+```
