A 50-year-old man has succumbed to his injuries nearly two weeks after being stabbed in the Carondelet neighborhood of St. Louis. The stabbing occurred early in the morning on July 29 on the 200 block of Fassen Street, according to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
The identity of the victim has not been disclosed as authorities are still in the process of notifying next of kin. The individual was taken to hospital and listed in critical, yet stable condition, and was released after a few days of care on August 2, as noted by FOX2now. The man was later readmitted on August 7 due to health complications arising from the stabbing.
On August 10, following the battle with complications stemming from his injuries, the victim was pronounced deceased. An autopsy has since confirmed that the death resulted from complications related to the original stabbing injuries. No information has been released regarding whether a suspect has been apprehended or charged in connection to the incident. Police continue their investigation with homicide detectives taking the lead on the case.
The story has been covered by multiple local news agencies, with FirstAlert4 confirming the man's death was due to health complications from the stab wounds he suffered. More details will likely emerge as the police notification of family progresses and further investigative actions are taken.
