Cops: Burglary Suspect Strangles Himself (AP)

DUBLIN, Ireland - A suspected burglar accidentally strangled himself while trying to break into a house in the southwest Irish town of Tralee, police said Monday.
Police said the home owner discovered the body of a man Sunday afternoon hanging from the outside frame of a bathroom window. The victim appeared, they said, to have been standing on a lawnmower while trying to break in when he slipped off — and his sweater caught on a hook, choking him. Police declined to name the victim but confirmed he was from the nearby city of Limerick and was on their list of local criminal suspects.
