"According to the post on SPD’s Blotter blog, officers responded to a car prowl report involving a man “potentially armed with a knife” arrived at the garage, “found this male unconscious” and rendered aid until medics responded and took him to Harborview hospital, where he died two days later.

Upon further investigation, the report continues, officers “determined the owner of the vehicle interrupted the car prowl and confronted the male, and they got into a physical altercation. During the altercation, the man fell unconscious, and the vehicle owner separated from him.”

…a photo show(s) the tools the man had with him… they include a credit card, screwdrivers, a crowbar, and a small hatchet."

“He was choked to death, by the still-unnamed owner of the vehicle he was allegedly breaking into.”
