Suspected thief from Burleson electrocuted while allegedly trying to steal copper

BURLESON — No matter what the circumstances, someone dying is always sad. But there's something ... oh what's the word, cosmic? in this story about a guy from Burleson who appears to have died while trying to steal copper from a retirement home. He was cutting power lines on Friday night outside Forest Hill Nursing Center and got electrocuted. He was hoisted by his own petard, just like Dr. Boogie on the Bravo reality show Shear Genius, who'd been so cocky about his experience doing high-profile hair-styling but ended up getting axed last week during the episode in which the hairdressers had to do a photo shoot with famed photographer Matthew Rolston -- the one challenge you'd think he'd have won.
