I've never found a fried pet in a TV, but I have seen some really big bugs get toasted, and once found a dead 6" lizard stuck against a damper diode in a 90s (solid state, of course) TV. I almost trapped someones cat in a Magnavox entertainment center once....got a few screws in the back cover and started hearing funny noises. Found the cat had jumped in just before I set the cover in place.
