The body of a middle-aged man was found inside an electronics business after falling while trying to break into the shop.

Mulinge Kituo, the business owner, said that he discovered the body in his shop at 7:15 a.m. Kituo locked the premises without knowing the man's condition and reported the event to a local police station.

"When I arrived, I noticed that the gypsum ceiling was broken. I then noticed the body. I wasn't sure if he was alive or dead so I closed shop and promptly headed to a police station," said Kituo.

Police eventually arrived at the scene and confirmed the death of the suspected thief, who had fallen head-first on the concrete floor.

The shop's CCTV camera shows the man breaking inside the establishment and tumbling to the floor at about 11:40 p.m. on Thursday.

He didn't die right away; he writhed in anguish for nearly 10 minutes before becoming silent.
