Burglar Dies in Chimney During Rescue After Homeowners Light a Fire


A suspected burglar in Fresno County, California has died after getting trapped inside a home's chimney, sheriff's deputies said Saturday.

Nineteen-year-old Cody Caldwell was found lodged inside the chimney of a home in the small town of Huron on Friday after homeowners heard calls for help upon lighting a fire, KSEE reports.

As the house filled with smoke, the homeowners called authorities and worked to put out the fire, according to a Fresno County Sheriff's Office release.


Firefighters arrived within minutes of the call and found Caldwell still conscious inside the chimney, officials said.
