What a horrible way to go. Even I feel sorry for him, and I normally celebrate the deaths of intruders killed by homeowners protecting their property. :(

You would think the robber should have survived if the homeowner tossed a quick bucket of water over fire the second he heard the screams. Maybe he let the guy "cook" a little before putting out the fire and calling the cops.

It's more likely that he died from smoke inhalation than being burned to death.

Agree.

Burglary is up there. I understand assault in a fight or whatever, it could happen to anyone. But burglary is a thought out plan to steal shit that's not yours because you think you deserve it.

Should have stoked the fire.

i would think so.

anyone who's been around a campfire knows what it's like to take even one good face-full of smoke from a roaring fire. imagine being stuck in a chute having to take it nonstop. the guy was probably gone in a couple minutes.

Burglar!? Sounds like defamation of Santa's character. Thanks assholes, now there's no Christmas this year.

His body was probably blocking most of the smoke from getting up to him.

I'm betting his lower half roasted for a bit.

Good.

All could have been avoided had you just not.... broken the law. Crazy right?

obviously it depends upon on how far down he was, but most human bodies are oval shaped and most chimneys are rectangular / square shaped, so he probably got a lot of smoke no matter what.

btw, looks like this poor dumb kid's name was cody caldwell. he was only 19yo.
