Law enforcement arrived at the scene to discover Culham deceased in the yard.

According to Englewood Police Chief Corey Follick, the male resident was investigating the suspicious noises when Culham allegedly rushed toward him.

Follick said, “Most burglars, if they determine that a home is occupied, once they’re detected, they normally flee the area…[but] this subject stayed on their property and confronted the homeowner when he was out double-checking to see what all may have been damaged or stolen from his property or who the person was on his property.”
