BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin burglar's break-in took an
unexpected turn when he stumbled upon a corpse and felt compelled
to call the police.
"He called to say he'd just broken into a flat and found a dead
body," said a spokeswoman for Berlin police Thursday. "He gave the
address of the place and then hung up."
Officers discovered the 64-year-old resident of the flat dead in
his bedroom. The man had passed away about two weeks ago, and
authorities are not treating the death as suspicious.
The burglar has not been heard of since. Local media said he fled
the apartment empty-handed, but police could not confirm
this.
