From The New York Post:
[Paul] Kessler, an Israel supporter, was involved in a scuffle with pro-Palestinian protesters around 3:20 p.m. when he suffered a head injury during the confrontation, authorities and family friends said.
An autopsy conducted Monday determined Kessler’s manner of death was a homicide, and the cause of death was blunt force head injury, the sheriff’s office said.
The Los Angeles Times reported Kessler was struck in the head before he was knocked over, citing deputies.
When reached by The Post late Monday, a sheriff’s spokesperson didn’t confirm or deny what led up to the fall.
