An investigation has been launched after a burglar died days after breaking into Beatles legend Ringo Starr's apartment block.
The intruder, 32, was caught by security guards after he got into the luxury block in Chelsea, London.
They held him until police arrived, but he collapsed in custody and was taken to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, where he died four days later.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating his death. Detectives are trying to establish whether the burglar was trying to get to Ringo, 67, or steal from wealthy residents.
A source said: "There has been a history of members of the Beatles being attacked by madmen."
John Lennon was shot dead by Mark Chapman in New York in 1980, and George Harrison was stabbed in the chest at his mansion by schizophrenic Michael Abram in 1999.
