And as 2015 draws to a close, we have another Darwin nominee!! Congrats California! [Darleen Click]

Could have been Florida for the weirdness, yet I don’t believe the homes there usually have chimneys

A suspected burglar who attempted to enter a California home through the chimney died on Saturday after the homeowner lit a fire without realizing anyone was inside, police said.

The man appeared to have climbed into the chimney during the night while the owner was away and then became stuck, according to the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office.

After the owner of the home in Huron lit a fire in his fireplace Saturday afternoon, he heard a man yelling inside the chimney as the house filled with smoke, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

The homeowner tried to extinguish the flames, but firefighters who dismantled the chimney during a rescue effort found the suspect dead inside, the sheriff’s office said.

    I’m sure the homeowner will be sued by the “suspected burglar’s” family.

    And hated by the neighborhood kids for “killing Santa Claus.”

  3. cranky-d says:

    Agreed. He should consider moving immediately.

    In my neck of the woods, a distraught mother called 911 while driving through town on the interstate because her grown son was havin a psychotic break and she feared he would get her and her husband killed.

    Deputies and/or troopers arrived and tried to get control of the situation, including tasing the son multiple times. In the end, said scary psychotic son wound up assuming ambient temperature.

    And now his parents, who pleaded with LEOs to save them from their scary, violent son, are … suing said LEOs.

    Memo to Coweta County: don’t bother summoning me for that jury.

    As long as they didn’t shoot him in the back while he was walking away from them.

    I bet that really burned his ass, literally speaking.

    Hey, someone had to say it.

    Greetings:

    That “suspected burglar” kind of rankles. Perhaps he was just a migrant chimney-sweep ???

    Speaking of burglars:

    Sandy Berger is dead
