Charlotte NC. Sept 20 2017 A western Illinois security officer has died just hours after struggling with a man who police say was breaking into a car.
The man fled the apartment complex and shortly afterwards the guard began having trouble breathing and called 911.
Police say the security guard was 59 and the man breaking into the car could face charges in his death.

Another security officer who was also a reserve officer with the Gary Police Department was found dead inside his vehicle Sunday night in northwest Indiana while on duty.
Willie Smith Jr., 30, was found unresponsive in his personal vehicle in the 100 block of North Clark Road, according to Gary Police Lt. Dawn Westerfield and the Lake County coroner’s office.
He was pronounced dead at 9:09 p.m., according to the coroner’s office.
Smith was a reserve officer with the department, but was not working a police assignment when he died, Westerfield said. He was working a security detail for a business in the area.
There were no signs of trauma and no foul play is suspected, Westerfield said.
