MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Medical Examiner was called to the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee on W. Kilbourn Ave. Sunday evening.
Police blocked off the front entrance to the hotel where cars pass through to drop off guests.
The ME is a government office that keeps death records of those who have died and performs autopsies. When the office is called to a scene it is typically to investigate a death.
On Monday morning, the ME identified the person who died as Dvontaye L. Mitchell, 43. The preliminary manner of death has been listed as a homicide.
MPD says Mitchell came into the hotel, and "caused a disturbance," before fighting with a security guard that tried to escort him out. The press release says, "security detained the individual until police arrived," but that Mitchell was unresponsive by the time officers showed up. Those officers tried to revive Mitchell, but say he was pronounced dead at the scene.
MPD says this case is not being handled as a criminal investigation, although officers are trying to determine Mitchell's cause of death.
The Milwaukee Fire Department responded to TMJ4's request for information and stated they were at the scene and provided care.
