On the other side of the window, on the street, his head can be seen bent backwards at a gruesome angle.
Local media say the attempted burglary took place at night when those in the house were asleep in other rooms.
The man is believed to have inadvertently hanged himself in his bungled attempt to break into the residence in Karachi, Pakistan, to steal.

It was only when the occupants woke up that they came across the harrowing sight of his lifeless corpse.
They called the police and officers were dispatched to the scene to remove the body and take it to a cold storage facility.
The deceased hadn’t been identified.
However, the police say he was around 35-years-old, as reported by Need To Know.

The case comes days after the rotting remains of a burglar were found trapped in a window at a nursery school while it was closed for the holidays.
Stomach-churning photos show his shrunken head trapped on one side of a tilt window.
On the other side, his body can be seen hanging down the wall.
The director decided to inspect the premises on 4 January after complaints from neighbours about a foul smell.
She found the nursery school ransacked and was horrified when she came across the corpse in a classroom.
The authorities in Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, were called in to investigate and remove the body.
Preliminary investigations suggested the man had broken a window to gain entry to the nursery school to steal.
It’s believed he slipped while using a chair to climb out during his escape.
The authorities believe the man bled to death after cutting himself on the broken glass.
Because the school was closed over the festive period, his body went unnoticed for several days.
By the time it was found, it was in an advanced state of decomposition.
