A Providence Rhode Island man known to be connected to a number of break-ins in the area reportedly dropped dead while in the middle of stealing a flat-screen TV.

Captain Walter Barlow of the East Providence police force stated that the man whose identity has not been released broke into an apartment, ripped the flat screen TV out of the wall and began to run with it. However, before he could get very far out the door, he collapsed and died.

It is believed that the man died of a natural cause, possibly a heart attack. He had previously been convicted of shoplifting and robbery.
