A man attempting to enter a Love Field-area convenience store overnight became stuck in a rooftop grill vent and died, Dallas police said Thursday.
A worker at the Express Mart in the 7400 block of Harry Hines Boulevard entered the store about 9:30 a.m. and found a pair of legs hanging through the vent hood above the grill, said Dallas police Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther.
The man apparently got stuck and suffocated, she said.
Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to the scene and had to use special cutting tools to remove and pull the body back out from the roof, she said.
The man was average in size and appeared to be in his early 20s, Senior Cpl. Crowther said. It was unclear how long he had been dead. The employee told police she closed the store about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
