Man dies after beating outside Philly club
Police Lt. John Walker said James Koons was taken off life support at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital Monday afternoon, the Philadelphia Daily News reported Wednesday. The investigation has been turned over to the police homicide unit.
Police found Koons, 31, a father of two from Media, Pa., outside Club Oasis Oct. 16, unconscious and bleeding from his head and ears. He was with a friend, George Foreacre, 35, of Secane, a suburb near Media, who had four fractured vertebrae.
Robert Laflar, 43, the owner of the club property, and two bouncers, Brendan Davis, 32, of Oreland, Pa., and John Pettit, 48, of Pennsauken, N.J., were charged with attempted murder the day after the beating. Another employee has been charged with obstruction of justice for taking apart video surveillance cameras before police got to the club.
Investigators say Koons and Foreacre had been thrown out of the club and were waiting in a parking lot for a credit card to be returned.
