A suspected burglar was killed over the weekend when the window of a home he was trying to break into slammed down on him and kept him hanging by the neck until he died, authorities said.

Jonathan Hernandez, 32, was already dead when deputies arrived at the scene Saturday in Lehigh Acres, about 15 miles east of Fort Myers, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.

The man’s family disputes the account, saying Hernandez was not a burglar or a bad person.

But Lt. Russell Park, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office, said in a video briefing Monday that the convicted felon was indeed “trying to work his way through the window” when it “unexpectedly” closed on top of him and pinned him, “keeping him suspended in air” for an unknown amount of time.
