A man suspected of trying to steal a vehicle’s catalytic converter in Anaheim died after the car fell on him Wednesday, police said.

Officers responded to a report of a deceased man in the 1600 block of North Placentia Avenue just before 6:30 a.m., according to Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Shane Carringer.

The man was apparently in the process of stealing the catalytic converter when the jack failed, crushing the would-be thief to death, Carringer said.

The car was the property of a local business, and it was an employee who discovered the deceased man under the vehicle, the sergeant added.
