A suspect died three days after a burglary and a brief fight with police officers.
Michael Seane Henderson, 34, of Denver was pronounced dead at Denver Health Medical Center at 9:48 a.m. Sunday, according to a police report filed Tuesday by Detective David Neil.
Demitres Proctor, 15, said he was walking home about 10 p.m. Thursday when he saw a man use his arm to break a window across the street in the 1700 block of East 29th Avenue.
“He busted the window and jumped in,” Proctor said. “You could see blood on the window.”
Proctor said someone chased the man out.
The man was screaming for help, he said.
Two others said they also heard a man screaming for help before police arrived.
Police found Henderson lying in the front yard of the home with a gash on his arm, said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.
“(Henderson) was arrested but resisted officers,” Neil’s police report says.
Jackson said Henderson was breathing heavily and had the gash, so officers called for an ambulance.
Henderson was charged Saturday with assault, according to investigation records.
