Doctor's body found in chimney after homeowners smell bad odor

Detectives initially investigated the woman's death as suspicious, but police said Monday that all the evidence indicates she voluntarily went to the roof, removed the chimney cap and slid down the flue feet first. (Bakersfield.com)

That's got to be the most convoluted means of committing suicide ever. Or was she maybe trying to break into the house? It's not clear to me. If so, I blame Santa for spreading the idea that you can just slide down a chimney into a house. There's a liner and damper in there, folks!

Cue Phoebe Cates' character's explanation in "Gremlins" of why she doesn't observe Christmas.

Any relation to the guy caught in the restaurant ventilator?

Also, this reminds me of the "Night Before Christmas" parody. Merry Christmas!

She was a doctor... how'd she think that this was a good idea?

Mook, a doctor whose husband was also a doctor told me, "People always think doctors know everything. They don't know anything else but their profession." How many people, except those in some building trades, really understand the construction of chimneys? All they know is Santa slides down chimneys, so it must be a cinch. I think this doctor was desperate to re-connect with the boyfriend and thought she'd surprise him when he came home.

[Sigh]

You think she'd know that you can be killed by the flue....

[Phranqlin]

This is all Santa's fault. When will the carnage end?!?!?

[American Veteran]

Ho ho ho.

I used to date a psycho chick like that. Tried breaking into my house several times after we broke up. They're everywhere. I say we round them all up and airdrop them into Iran.

Bet her panties were bunched up............

There are easier ways of getting rid of a girlfriend.

Just call me MR Cynical.

Of course Santa can slide down chimneys... cause he can use magic and/or imaginary.

I'd say this is also suspicious but think about that astronaut chick who wore diapers so she didn't have to make potty stops on her way to kill her rival. Sometimes love is too crazy.

[Krash]

I wonder if she's any relation to the astronaut stalker bitch with the diapers? What WERE you thinking woman???!
