A homeless man hungry death after he caught his arm in a skylight and tried to break into an empty house, heard an investigation.
Khaled Aribi, an Algerian asylum seeker, was eventually discovered by a broker when she arrived for viewing the empty building in Walthamstow, Northeast London, last summer.
An investigation into the tragic death of the 32-year-old heard that he had been dead for a number of considerable time before his body was found in July.
The court of the Coroner of Oost -London heard that Mr. Aribi was imprisoned as he tried to break into the empty building, possibly for shelter.
“The circumstances of death are somewhat unusual,” Corporate said Dr. Shirley Radcliffe to the study. “The deceased man hung on a skylight in the ceiling.”
The research heard that Mr Aribi's body was found by a female broker who arrived at the building on July 27 last year for a viewing.
He was bent from the ceiling after being imprisoned in the skylight about six days earlier, it was said. The police identified Mr. Aribi out of his fingerprints.
His last known address was between Euston Station and Regents Park in Noord -Londs, but he no longer lived there when he died and was described as 'no permanent residence'.

Dr. Radcliffe said that Mr. Aribi had been dead for some time 'by the time his body was found.
“On the floor around the circumference of the skylight were small pieces of stone,” she said.
'His hand seemed to be stuck between the glass of the skylight and the stone of the ceiling.
'It seems that he had gained access to the roof of the kitchen with the skylight, tried to get into the building through the skylight and tragically the skylight had closed his fingers and he could not free himself.
“It was clear that it was the source or the place of arrival because all other windows and doors were locked.”
The investigation heard that the police CCTV images of Mr Aribi climb the garden wall of the building six days earlier.
Toxicological tests on the liver of the asylum seeker found cocaine and a psychiatric medicine called pregabaline.
Aribi had mixed fear and depression and was under the care of the Mental Health team of Camden and Islington at the end of 2023.
He was on a waiting list for counseling at the time of his death and was described as 'a very vulnerable adult, who is at risk of sexual exploitation'.
Radcliffe ruled the death of Mr. Aribi as an accident, added: “He was a person looking for asylum in this country and part of his mental health problems with regard to issues that had arisen in his previous country.”
A post -mortem exam discovered that his death, based on likely, was caused by dehydration, hunger and ketoacidosis – High Surid Level in the blood, caused by malnutrition.
