Obsessions can have deadly consequences.

Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, tried to get into the house of her on-again, off-again lover,
with a shovel, then climbed a ladder to the roof last Wednesday night, removed the
chimney cap and slid feet first down the flue, Bakersfield police Sgt. Mary DeGeare said.

Kotarac apparently died in the chimney, but her body was not discovered for 3 days,
when a house-sitter noticed a stench and fluids coming from the fireplace Saturday,
according to a police statement. The house-sitter and her son investigated with a
flashlight and found Kotarac dead, wedged about two feet above the top of the interior fireplace opening.

One of the viewer comments on the article said "she came down with a bad case of the flue".

Hmmm. Wonder if it was asphyxiation due to compressed ribs and lungs trying to squeeze down the chimney. Here is hoping she passed quick and painless.

While she was trying to break in, the man she was pursuing escaped unnoticed from another exit "to avoid a confrontation," authorities said.

Me I would have just called the cops or something. O.o Woman had him running scared from his own house!

Everything about that is just .... wrong.

She might have had an excessive set of lung cover glands that cut off her air, or her circulation.

Since she was stinkin' by three days I'm guessing she went pretty quick. I hope so, what a way to go.
