Candidate Submission to the Darwin Awards

I was reading the news feeds today and saw this post from Fox News with the interesting title of "Man Dies After Getting Stuck in Girlfriend’s Cat Door". Story can be found here at the Fox News website. The story notes in part:
" A woman in Florida made a startling discovery over the weekend when she found her boyfriend stuck in her house’s cat door. The girlfriend of Charles Tucker Jr.... found the man stuck in the small door and called police. When they arrived four minutes later, the man was dead."
So I humbly submit Charles Tucker Jr as a candidate for the Darwin Awards whose purpose is to focus on those individuals who by their own stupid actions, remove themselves from the human gene pool.

Update - this is too easy. Also at Fox News is this story posted at 6:24 PM. The story has this headline "
Man Fleeing Police Killed By Alligator". The man was suspected of breaking into cars and when confronted took off on foot and dove into a retention pool which happened to have a live alligator in it. Oops!
