Nebraska, October 28: In a shocking incident, a 29-year-old US man has been found dead inside a chimney after his shoes were seen dangling from the shaft and mysterious screams were heard by residents. The incident was uncovered in Norfolk, Nebraska and the victim was identified as Zachariah Andrews, who had an arrest warrant issued against him more than two weeks after he vanished.

According to a report in Dailystar, Andrews’s body was recovered on October, 19 when a maintenance worker investigated a foul odour from the apartment and discovered shoes hanging out of the chimney. US: Man Jumps Headfirst Into 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pool in New York City, Arrested; Shocking Video Goes Viral.
