Man Dies After Trying to Break Into Fort Worth Homes: Police

Police said a man has died after trying to break into several homes in a southwest Fort Worth neighborhood Friday morning. [[415882383,C]]

Officers said they started receiving calls from residents in the 3000 block of Country Creek Lane about a man banging on doors demanding to get inside at about 3 a.m.

One resident said the man broke through her front window and got tripped up on her infant daughter's toys before her husband chased the man back through the window.

Police say the man then went to the house next door and broke another window before collapsing in the front yard where officers found him dead.

Police said the man sustained a severe cut at some point, and likely bled to death. His body was found when police arrived at the scene.

Neighbors said the area, which is just a couple of blocks from an elementary school, is usually quiet and relatively problem free.

No further details have been released.
