Suspected burglar found dead in store’s air duct
A man who was found dead in a ventilation shaft at a Fort Bend County convenience store apparently became trapped while trying to burglarize the building, authorities said Monday.
The unidentified man was found about 8:30 a.m. Monday by an employee of the Amigo Express Drive-In Market in the 3000 block of Fifth Street near Stafford, said sheriff’s Capt. Jerry Clements.
The employee was opening the store for business when he noticed feet protruding from a ventilation exhaust duct, Clements said. Police found the body wedged in the 12-inch-wide shaft.
