Officials are investigating the death of a Lehigh County man who had been in hospice care ever since being arrested by Easton police nearly two months ago.
Andrew Ohl, 25, of Upper Saucon Township died yesterday.
His cause of death is pending toxicology results.
Officials say Ohl was a prison inmate on work release when he was involved in a scuffle with police back on November 25th at the Easton Corner Grocery and Deli.

They say Ohl attacked a police officer as soon as the officer entered the store.
Police say it took several officers to subdue Ohl and place him in handcuffs. Ohl and two officers were injured.
Police say they called an ambulance for Ohl.
They say he went into cardiac arrest after being given a sedative by ems personnel.
Police say the synthetic drug k2 was found in Ohl's prison cell.
Easton Mayor Sal Panto says officers acted appropriately to subdue Ohl.
Easton Police are internally investigating the use of force.
