SANTA FE, N.M. (Reuters) - A New Mexico couple returned home from a week-long vacation to find the legs of a dead man dangling from their ceiling, police said.

The man was identified as Carl Smith, 81, and he was the former husband of the woman who lived in the home, said Trish Ahrensfield, a spokeswoman for the Albuquerque police.

"He was stuck in an air conditioner duct," Ahrensfield said, adding a cause of death has not yet been determined.

Police said it appears the man was trying to break into the home from the roof and died while attempting to get in through the air conditioner duct.
