An unknown male burglarized Watson & Hunt Funeral Home Wednesday night at approximately 8:30.

In a Facebook post, Jason Watson said, “Last night someone broke into my funeral home. He stayed for several hours, at one point even passed out and took a nap in my office chair.”

Watson said that the suspect stole “stole several electronic items,” but most shocking, Watson saide the suspect “… stole the clothes of a gentleman whose services we are having this week, yes he stole a dead man’s clothes.”

Leitchfield Police Department Detective Kevin Smith said LPD is currently working the case.

In his post, Watson provided images of the suspect who was captured on the businesses’ surveillance video.

Anyone who recognizes the perpetrator is asked to contact the Leitchfield Police Department at 270-259-3850.
