Greased up from head to toe in filthy cooking oil, dehydrated after two days without water, a man is lucky to be alive after getting stuck in a vent in a vacant California restaurant.

It took firefighters about an hour to free the 29-year-old man from his slippery prison, where police said he was unlikely to have survived another day.
