A Spanish burglar has died inside a chimney after becoming stuck during a break-in attempt.
The body of the 30-year-old man, identified by police as Ricardo CG, was discovered by the owner of the home in the town of Moron de la Frontera on Tuesday.
His hand and forearm could be seen sticking out the top of the chimney, local media reported.
It is not known how long the man was wedged inside the chimney before he died, but his mother had reported him missing last week and his body had already started to decompose.
A local businessman only used the property as a second home and could not identify how long the would-be thief had been stuck.
He made the shocking discovery after finding his gate broken into and bricks broken off the fireplace.
