Polk County authorities are continuing to investigate the death of an Ohio man following a wedding at the Hoist House in Ducktown.
Detective Cody Day of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office identified the victim John DiPaola, 51, of West Chester, Ohio.
Day said a fight broke out following the Saturday, October 23, wedding. This sparked more fights and deputies were called to the scene at 9:48 p.m.
DiPaola had fallen and hit his head on a concrete walkway, Day said.
Interviews are continuing and Day said last week that he is also awaiting results from DiPaola’s autopsy.
