A would-be thief escaping from an abandoned house in Brazil where there was nothing to steal died after a window slammed down on top of him, trapping and eventually asphyxiating him.
Inspector Fernanda Rangel says that scratches and other marks on a wall next to the window indicate the intruder struggled to free himself but failed. Rangel says she does not know how soon he died after becoming trapped. Investigators have not yet identified him, but believe he was about 30 years old and that his body was in the window frame for at least four days.
Rangel says that the corpse was discovered Tuesday by the house’s owner, who had arrived to store some personal belongings.

According to Veja, a Brazilian magazine, the film’s US producers left a string of debts, with a lighting company, drivers and security guards also owed money, reports the Telegraph.
“Since May of last year, O2 has been trying to get the money from the Americans. However since the beginning of this year, Stallone and his producers have stopped answering their calls,” said the magazine. 2’s accountants even had to recruit armed guards to protect their offices from angry production workers.

“The chance of being able to keep both is 10 or 20 percent,” she said.
Hershey was undergoing corrective surgery - her tenth op - in the US after her boobs became infected following an op in Brazil last month. (more…)
