Police are investigating a man's death at a neighborhood Fourth of July block party as a homicide, authorities said Sunday.
The 55-year-old man died after participating in a fight that broke out at the large neighborhood party in Santa Ana. Officers came to the 2500 block of North Lindwood Avenue around 9:40 p.m. when the man was reported to be unresponsive in the street.
OCFA was performing CPR on the man when officers arrived, and he was taken to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana, where he was pronounced dead.
Authorities are still investigating whether the man died from injuries sustained from an assault during the fight or if he died from a medical condition. Homicide detectives are on the scene, but an autopsy had not been conducted early Sunday to determine a cause of death.
No arrests were reported Sunday morning. Anyone with information is asked to call SAPD homicide detectives at 714- 245-8390 or Orange County Crime Stoppers at 1-855-TIP-OCCS.
