A Darwin Award candidate and this idiot just take the 2015 title.
From Fox News:
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.
The deceased man's identity and cause of death have not been determined, Lieutenant Brandon Pursell of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office said by phone on Sunday. http://www.reviewjournal.com/trending/the-feed/suspected-burglar-dies-chimney-after-homeowner-lights-fire
Can you say Karma?
I feel for the homeowner because he had a weenie roast and didn't even realize it.
And he will have the stench of burnt flesh in house for a long time.
And the homeowner will probably be sued by the thug's relatives because he should have looked up the chimney before he lit the match.
So, let this be a lesson to you prospective thieves...only Santa Claus can go up and down chimneys and not you.
