He wasn't beaten to death (at least not immediately). The mental trauma from the attack led to a severe reduction in eating, weight loss, and him dying 73 days after the assault.
Four broken fingers, broken ribs, and a broken jaw.
The guy who did it had a pending assault charge when they put him into the nursing home following a positive PCR test that was done after he started hearing voices. He filmed the assault and put it online, where there was other videos of him assaulting others. It was Whitmer's policy that put him in there.
If you die within a year and a half of sustaining the injuries then prosecutors can charge you with murder
The "mental trauma" line is a misdirection on someone's part.
I can almost guarantee that a septuagenarian with recently broken jaw, ribs and hands would still have found eating more physically difficult even 70 days later. The emotional trauma was just icing on top of that physical trauma.
Agreed. I re-read where I got information and they quoted his nephew about him eating less, around the same time the article said he had depression, so I must have combined the two in my head.
I'm sure I saw a few other places phrasing it that way when he first died, so it may not have been a connection made in your head entirely unprompted.
