Neighbors in the sector alerted the authorities of the educational unit about an unpleasant smell coming out of one of the rooms.

A guy died trying to escape from a preschooler he had broken into to steal. The incident was recorded in Puerto Cabello, Carabobo state.

It was unofficially known that the body of this man was in an advanced state of decomposition and it was the director of the Doroteo Centeno preschool who made the discovery.

Apparently, several neighbors in the sector alerted the authorities of the educational unit that there was a very strong unpleasant smell, so the staff went to check the situation, a few days before the return to classes for the second moment of the 2024 -2025 school year.

The principal of the preschool found several things mixed up, which gave an indication of an attempted robbery.

It wasn't until he entered one of the classrooms that they noticed a lifeless body sticking out between the living room window.

Regional media indicate that the criminal entered the preschool through a window that broke, then tried to escape through that same place, however, he used a chair to push himself and slipped.

This caused him to get stuck in the broken glass, which caused a cut in his neck, so he bleed to death.

It is presumed that the criminal's body had been more than a week, due to the advanced state of decomposition.

Commissions of the Corps of Scientific, Criminal and Criminalistic Investigations (Cicpc) went to the site to remove the body.
