A man died over the weekend after a window closed on him while attempting to burglarize a Florida home.

Jonathan Hernandez, 32, died Saturday while breaking into a Lehigh Acres home by climbing through the window, which slammed on him, according to a report by WBBH, an NBC affiliated station serving the Jacksonville.

Hernandez was dead by the time deputies arrived.

Hernandez’s family members were surprised by the news of his death saying that they had never known him to act in this manner.

Family and friends are hoping an investigation will get them answers to Hernandez’s strange behavior.

In Florida before the 60s a lot of old Cracker houses had Sash weighted windows. If sash rope broke the “Redneck Fix” was a Prop/stick to hold window up.
He may have come upon this set-up and knocked the prop out?

No photo of the window in question. Rumour has it the window has retained legal counsel.

Nothing good happens in Lehigh Acres. I used to live south of there in Estero.

His family was surprised - he’s usually mindful of window slams during a house burglary.

You joke, by there is almost certainly a plaintiff lawyer eager to take the case.

If this was UK they would arrest the homeowner and immediately outlaw windows that could be harmful to poor unsuspecting burglars.
