This is truly bizarre. The "boyfriend" was trying to get back into the
woman's house after she'd kicked him out and got stuck in the cat door.


Meet his brother...

Sounds as though we have two new candidates for the Darwin
award! :-)


You can only win a darwin award if you kill or sterilize
yourself before procreating or kill or sterilize all your progeny in the
process. You can't have the ability to pass along your genes.

Well, that would seem to cover the pet-door man, anyway!
(Never mind how his death occurred, he can't pass on his
genes, can he?)

Assuming he hasn't already done so.

Well, apparently not via the woman whose pet-door he tried
to enter, anyway!

And......just when you had decided you had seen just about
everything....!!!

I'm trying to figure out just how he died, though. I can't say I've
ever heard of someone dying just because they got stuck somewhere,
unless something else happened - like someone got stuck on railroad
tracks and then a train came. But they wouldn't die just from being
stuck on tracks, there has to be a train... Did he somehow get
strangled by the edges of the cat door? Heart attack? Someone came
by and shot him? Sorry, that's tasteless, but really, some other
thing had to have happened. You don't just die of a cat door!


The report said he'd been found in his car sitting in front of her
house the day before, unconscious. He was taken to the hospital and
later released. Obviously he had some sort of medical thing going
on. I'm guessing heart attack. I doubt we'll ever hear a follow-up
on this so we may never know.

Sounds more like some sort of drug-related situation. Who
in his right mind, however fixated on a woman, would try to
force his way into her home through a CAT-door?? (Dog-door,
maybe, if it was for a large breed, but how could an adult
human of normal size fit through a cat door?)

I gather you've not been (and it's a good thing!) fixated on by a guy who
would do just about anything to get you back, however negative it may be! I
have. One day maybe I'll write a book or go on some talk show about my
ex-husband's behaviour 2 years after our divorce. Thank Bast that was
almost 25 years ago!

Since he had one arm through the door, as well as his head, he was
probably trying to reach the door knob. My guess would be that he ended
up in a position where the edge of the door was keeping him from
breathing, and/or pressing on the arteries in his neck. If you were to
pass out in such a position, and your body were to slump in a manner that
continued the pressure, it wouldn't take long for you to die.

As I said in another post on this thread - a prime candidate
for the Darwin award!
