Poor family.
I can’t imagine what that would be like to find out someone was not only stuck in your chimney, but died there as well.
Expensive, given that they had to tear apart the chimney.
And now you’ve got a zombie burger chasing you.
And that the homeowner likely killed him from all the smoke. He'll have nightmares forever. Now they have to deal with the insurance to rebuild the fireplace and the new bricks won't match so they'll always be reminded. And not to mention if they sell the price will have to be dropped and they'll have to disclose crime in the neighborhood and the death.
But the big problem is how is Santa going to deliver the presents this year?
Temperatures in Fresno this time of year typically don't require the use of a fireplace........
I suspect the homeowner knew the thug was in the chimney and acted accordingly...........LOL!
I read elsewhere that they tried to put the fire out, smoking up the house, but they were not successful in saving his life.
