Elderly Man Dies After Fight With Burger King Worker



An elderly Detroit man is dead this morning after police say he got into a fight with a Burger King worker and died from a punch to the face turned lethal.

Authorities say the 67-year-old, whose name has not been released, was punched by a 20-year-old restaurant worker.

Although an autopsy is still pending, initial reports suggest that the victim choked on his dentures after being hit.

The worker is in police custody and could face criminal charges.

I was just heartsick to read about this, and I read elsewhere that the gentleman that lost his life was beleived to be homeless. How sad the way we treat the least of these and the elderly, and see what happens when we let our anger override all ration and reason. Just sad from every angle.
