A man who died after he was assaulted at a Breckenridge restaurant had a heart attack, police said Wednesday.
Thomas Guidry, 35, of Breckenridge was jumped after reportedly becoming verbally abusive to a female customer at the Salt Creek Steakhouse bar. A restaurant employee escorted Guidry from the bar on the second floor to the steakhouse below. Guidry was attacked in the foyer by two men who followed him downstairs.
The three scuffled, and Guidry fell. He was declared dead after being transported to Summit County Medical Center.
An autopsy at the Jefferson County coroner’s office in Golden found that he wasn’t killed in the fight.
“It was determined that no life-threatening injuries caused Mr. Guidry’s death. Instead, he had acute heart failure due to underlying pre-existing heart disease,” Breckenridge police said in a release Wednesday.
