A young reveller has died after coming home drunk in the early hours of the morning and impaling himself on his spiked gate.
Juan Felipe Cruz had been partying with his cousin.
The 24-year-old returned home at around 6am on Saturday (7 Dec) to get a few hours sleep before starting work.

However, the barber noticed that he had left his house keys locked in his car and decided to climb over the locked gate rather than trying to retrieve them.
Juan slipped while scaling the gate and ended up impaling his torso on the metal spikes at the top.
Neighbours reported hearing his screams and rushed outside to check on him, but he no longer had any vital signs.
His dead body was then found by devastated relatives outside his home in San Pedro Sula in north-western Honduras.

Juan’s corpse was taken to the Judicial Morgue of San Pedro Sula to undergo a post-mortem examination.
The body was then handed over to family members for burial later the same day.
The victim was a hair stylist for the last eight years of his life, as reported by Need To Know.
He worked in a barbershop in the neighbourhood of Rio de Piedras as well as a shop in the CityMall shopping centre.
The authorities have ruled his death as accidental.
One local commented: “Such a sad thing to happen to someone so young and beautiful, goes to show that one bad decision can have fatal consequences.”
Maritza wrote: “Such a young lad with his whole life ahead of him, what a pity.”
Edin said: “Maybe tiredness and mental fog led him to make such a risky decision. Those spikes are very dangerous, I’ve seen more than one person seriously injured because of them.”
