FREMONT, CA — A burglar who was caught on video breaking into and stealing from a home being fumigated with a hazardous chemical collapsed and later died after leaving the property, police said.
The apartment building was being fumigated for bed bugs and was covered with a tent.
“He had some labored breathing and he was also sweating,” said Geneva Bosques of the Fremont Police Department.
“He wasn’t able to communicate really well or at least not really clear.”
The family who lives in the home said he stole an iPhone, an iPad, and other electronics.
Fremont police said officers found him outside the complex after a 911 call came in shortly after 2 p.m.
He later died at the hospital. “Do Not Enter” signs announcing the presence of the chemicals sulfuryl fluoride and chloropicrin were posted at the scene.

We are all just one bad decision away from a terminal system failure all the time. As long as we want to continue this existence, it pays to make the best decisions we can. A quote often attributed to John Wayne summarizes some of my sentiment... "Life's Hard. It's even harder if you're stupid."

Might just start fogging on long trips. Maybe we can get another one using this method.

Interesting he was able to stay in the building with the chloropicrin, that's a warning agent and is like being tear gassed!
