Tragic Incident: Avon Lake Man Dies After Altercation with Neighbor
Avon Lake police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 51-year-old man who collapsed during a confrontation with a neighbor on Thursday evening.
The incident occurred on Beck Road around 6:50 p.m. when a woman called authorities to report that her adult son was unresponsive and lacked a pulse. Preliminary information indicates that the man had been involved in an altercation regarding a property line dispute.
According to police, the man confronted his neighbor, allegedly intruding onto their property and pushing a trash can towards them. The neighbor then pushed the trash can back, prompting the 51-year-old to faint and collapse at that moment.
