In 2010, Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac attempted to enter her "on-again, off-again" boyfriend's home by sliding down his chimney.
Tragically, her decomposed body was discovered in the chimney three days later by someone house-sitting at the address. The cause of death was determined to be mechanical asphyxia.
Crews spent two hours carefully extricating the 35-year-old from the Riverside County, California, house’s brick fireplace .
She had entered the 12-by-12-foot space from the roof.
But the homeowner, who has not been named, told media that she was the mother of his three children.
He also revealed that they had split up – and he did not want her inside the property.
