NOW SOMEBODY BREAKS INTO RINGO'S BLOCK OF FLATS!
...Is caught, then dies in custody
Ringo Starr flat intruder dies after custody collapse
By Justin Penrose Crime Correspondent 4/05/2008
An investigation has been launched after a burglar died days after breaking into Beatles legend Ringo Starr's apartment block.
The intruder, 32, was caught by security guards after he got into the luxury block in Chelsea, London.
They held him until police arrived, but he collapsed in custody and was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where he died four days later.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating his death. Detectives are trying to establish whether the burglar was trying to get to Ringo, 67, or steal from wealthy residents.
A source said: "There has been a history of members of the Beatles being attacked by madmen."
John Lennon was shot dead by Mark Chapman in New York in 1980, and George Harrison was stabbed in the chest at his mansion by schizophrenic Michael Abram in 1999.

It's things like this that make me constantly question the sanity of our world in general.
I'm wondering if the guy had a massive coronary and maybe that's why he kicked off?
This is more than bizarre in so many ways.
*worries for Richie*
if it were me, i'd never leave my house ever again... ;;
(there's a microscopic part of me that's refraining from chuckling at how incredibly weird this whole thing is. microscopic, i swear.)
