He was a man of big sin. She and King's sister, Lillie Kimbrough, both said he was addicted to cocaine and heroin. If hunger for drugs makes you slither down a strange chimney, any chimney, it's one of the stronger arguments for just saying no. Aremu and Kimbrough reject the speculation that he was trying to break into the tool company, even though he has a history of burglary arrests. They think he met with foul play, that someone robbed him and stuffed him into the chimney.
People choose what they want to believe.
Death ruled an accident His death officially has been classified as accidental. Detailed autopsy results are needed before we know if he died of lack of oxygen from the position he was in, or if the cold killed him. He failed to show up for a planned Christmas shopping trip with Aremu on Dec. 2 and was reported missing the following week. Employees who came to work at Magna Tool the following Monday did not hear anyone calling for help. For the next three months, they worked without knowing that a body was in the chimney, which runs through their shop but was no longer being used.
