Usually, when break-ins go wrong, there’s a homeowner with a gun who scares off the invaders. This case was different, according to Marion, Indiana, police. Instead of the burglar getting the safe, the safe got the burglar.
On March 12, Marion homeowner George Hollingsworth saw that the door frame to his garage had been damaged, according to a Marion police statement.
Hollingsworth did not see anything obviously wrong but decided that since the garage was more than a little cluttered, he would give it a good going-over the next day to see if something was missing. Underneath an antique, 900-pound floor safe that had been on floor jacks, Hollingsworth found the body of a dead man.
Fire crews eventually lifted the safe off the corpse, whom police later identified as Jeremiah A. Disney, 28, of Marion.
