CLEARWATER — The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a death outside a strip club early Thursday morning.
Deputies received a disturbance call at the 24 Karat Gentlemen’s Club, 16717 U.S. 19 N, about 2:30 a.m.
In the parking lot, they found a club employee holding down an unidentified man in his 30s down, who deputies were told was the cause of the disturbance.
As they were handcuffing him, they realized he was unresponsive and not breathing. Deputies started CPR and he was taken to Largo Medical Center, where he died at 3:36 a.m.
Witnesses told deputies that the man became disorderly in the club and was told to leave. Once he left, he took off his jacket, as if he wanted to fight, deputies said. Another patron was attempting to calm the man down when the man tried to punch him.
