Default When did they start putting dampers in chimneys?

A more newsworthy question is when did they start putting doctors in
chimneys?

A California doctor trying to break into her "on again, off again"
boyfriend's home snuck down the chimney and got stuck there, where she died.
Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, 49, wasn't found for three days. Kotarac had tried to
get into the home of her boyfriend, William Moodie, 58, with a shovel, and
then climbed a ladder to the roof, where she slid feet first into the
chimney. Meanwhile, Moodie slipped away unnoticed from another door, because
he was hoping "to avoid confrontation."

I've always wonder just how smart some doctors are and how they got their
medical license. *Now I have even more reason to wonder . . .


The most unsettling part of that story:
"Moodie’s housekeeper noticed a strange smell and fluids leaking from
the chimney"
Eww.
