doree:Raccoons are supposed to be the evil geniuses of rodentia. Forget simple latches, they can open combination locks and shuffle cards. So to die this way—and so publicly!—must have been the ultimate humiliation for him (this raccoon was undoubtedly male).

“…As best as we can deduce, the raccoon made a hole in the screen of a
window in the kitchen that was open. It pooped on the stove and all over the
counter and generally caused a gigantic mess.Looks like the raccoon pushed out the silverware drawers to get out, and
tried to squeeze itself through the little crack in the back of the silverware drawer. It must have gotten its head out and then suffocated as it couldn’t get its body out. So, the raccoon was dead by the time we got up in the morning and its body was still in the cabinet…”Oh my God this is horrible and gross and sad, and yet… also sort of hilarious.
