ASHTABULA, Ohio (WJW) — A 65-year-old nursing home resident died after being attacked by another resident, Ashtabula police reported.

It happened Saturday, April 22, at Carington Park along West Avenue in Ashtabula, said city police Chief Robert Stell. The 65-year-old man was attacked by another man inside the facility, he said.

A family member took the victim to a hospital after his health began to decline throughout the day. He later died at a Conneaut hospital, Stell said.

Police were then informed of his death. They’re now investigating whether the assault was a contributing factor. The city law director will then determine whether to file charges.

Police did not release any information about the alleged attacker.
