Washington County Sheriff Richard Stringer said 68-year-old Nathanial Johnson caught 31-year-old Cleveland Jones Gully breaking into the back door of his home, about 60 miles north of Mobile, on Friday just before midnight, AL.com reported.

Johnson, who told deputies his home had been robbed previously, had set up a trap that night in an effort to stop any more burglaries from taking place at his mobile home....

All the breathing goes through the nose and if that becomes congested for a number of reasons than he can’t breath. The nose is not enough. Taping a mouth is extremely risky.

Why would you tape the mouth??

I know in NYC/USSR, I’d be found guilty already before a trial!!

If (GOD FORBID!) one of my nephews broke into a house and got lead, I’d be crushed but I’d hold no grudge.

If they got caught and were later suffocated to death, I’d be looking for my pound of flesh.

Shouldn’t have covered his mouth and nose with tape.

He probably wrapped tape and/or clothesline around his chest too and too tightly. Like you, I’m betting suffocation was the cause of death.

Duct Tape - Is there anything it can’t do?
Actually it doesn't tape ducts very well. After awhile it starts to deteriorate and becomes brittle and useless causing ducts to fall off or come apart.

He should not have told them that.

If duct tape was available, why was electrical tape used to secure the burgler to the tree? Electrical tape is pretty much worthless for anything except wrappping wired connections

Yes. Lesson learned?

He should have just shot him inside the house.

99% sure it was suffocation.

Duck tape can easily slide off from around the mouth unless wrapped plenty of times over.

He either overaped his mouth or overtaped his thorax.
