KINGMAN, Ariz. -- An assault victim died Monday at University Medical Center after he was hurt Saturday in northwest Arizona.

Bullhead City police spokeswoman Emily Montague said Jack Schuyler, 28, of Bullhead City was flown to UMC for treatment of a severe head injury sustained when his sister and her fiance, Jefferson Ewing Findley Jr., 27, confronted and accused him of stealing money from them.

"Findley punched Schuyler one time in the face, causing him to hit his head on the ground," Montague said. He was knocked unconscious.

The case is under review by Mohave County prosecutors.
