Police recently determined that a man’s claimed fall from a Rivera Beach hotel balcony was actually a beating that resulted in his death. We get this from a recent report:
Investigators now think a man who said he fell while at a Riviera Beach hotel was a homicide victim.
On Tuesday April 20 paramedics responded to a call at the Sands Hotel at 2401 Beach Court.
51 year old Robert Doyle said that he had fallen and was in pain.
He was transported to St. Mary’s Medical Center where he died a few hours later.
A doctor treating him didn’t think Doyle’s injuries matched those sustained in a fall. He had broken ribs on both sides of his body, bruises on his legs and rib cage and a black eye as well as suspected internal injuries.
An examination by the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner determined Doyle’s death was the result of a homicide.
