That the bank even had an open chimney is one clue this story has a strange tint of innocence to it. That the 22-year-old who climbed into that open chimney had his name written on his underwear suggests it further. Back in 1984, that guy, named Joseph Schexnider, entered the 14-inch opening in the top of the chimney that protruded from the second-story roof of the Abbeville Bank in Abbeville, Louisiana. He was a wiry kid so he made it in easily enough. But the chimney narrowed at the flue, reduced to just three narrow inches just above the fireplace. Well into the chimney itself, he was stuck, unable to crawl back up. And since the room that housed the fireplace on the second floor was largely unused, the brick chimney a full story above the street became Joseph Schexnider’s tomb.
