Oh what a horrible way to go! Wonder if he was shoved in there or went in to try to get some money.

At least his family knows.

Officials couldn't determine how he died, but police speculate that he starved.

Snipped from ink in OP.

Naw, he probably died of dehydration before starvation.

Bless his family.

Oh how terrible . Hate to think of anyone dying that way
Glad his family has him back for burial and some closure

Funeral for man entombed for 27 years in chimney.

So did no one ever light a fire in the fireplace in 27 years and wonder why smoke was coming back down. This is truly bizarre thing.

Good God . What a way to go . I don't even wanna think about how long he was alive for inside the chimney.

He probably died of cancer due to smoking.
