A middle-aged man died getting his head trapped in barred window.

Arles Antonio Claro Quintero suffocated to death due to his own body weight, it is feared.

The 37-year-old head became wedged between the metal bars and he was left dangling from the window.

The police suspect that he was attempting to rob the pool hall where he was found.

However, they haven’t ruled out the possibility that he fell asleep in the venue while under the influence of alcohol.

And tried to climb through the window to get home.

Workers reportedly heard strange noises coming from the room but arrived too late to save him, as reported by Need To Know.

The police arrived on the scene and found his dead body suspended from the window in the early hours of Tuesday (13 May) morning

They removed his corpse and transported it to a nearby morgue in the city of Ocaña located north of Bogotá, Colombia.

The authorities are seeking to determine the exact circumstances surrounding his death.

At the moment, the main hypothesis is that Arles died accidentally while trying to rob the pool hall.

The police probe is ongoing.

In December last year, a reveller accidentally impaled himself on his home gate after coming home drunk.

Juan Felipe Cruz, 24, had been out partying with his cousin when he arrived home at around 6am.

However, the barber couldn’t find his keys and decided to climb over the spiked gate.

His dead body was then found by devastated relatives outside his home in San Pedro Sula in Honduras.

The authorities ruled his death as accidental.
