This story is too good to pass up.

ST. LOUIS - A woman using her son's baseball bat fatally beat an intruder who forced his way into her duplex and attacked her sister while he was clad only in socks, police said.

"I asked him, 'Who are you and what do you want?' The only thing he said was, 'I'm dead. I'm dead," Gwen Herndon, 56, said after being attacked about 1:30 a.m. Sunday before her sister, 41-year-old Rochelle Edwards, intervened.

He might have been naked and high as a kite, but at least he got the "I'm dead" part right.

Edwards was not charged in the death of Timothy Turner, a 29-year-old man investigators suspect was under the influence of drugs.

Police were awaiting autopsy results.

Um...death by blunt trauma and intoxicants present in his system, you think?

Turner's criminal record included arrests on suspicion of burglary, assault, gun charges, forgery and trespassing, police said. He also had a robbery conviction.

Good riddance. Nice knowing you Timmy.
