Police here have launched a homicide investigation into the falling death of a man in Seattle's International District.
A 64-year-old man was found bleeding profusely from the head near the corner of Fifth Avenue South and South Weller Street at around 8:40 p.m. on Nov. 21.
The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center where he was pronounced dead five days later.
Investigators believed the injury appeared to have occurred when the man fell and struck his head against a metal pipe attached to a building.
But an autopsy revealed the unidentified man's injuries were not consistent with a fall, but rather with a serious assault.
Anyone with information on the case is urged to call detectives at (206) 684-5550.
