WATSONVILLE – Police are investigating the death of man at Caesars’ Club Bar on Sunday night but say foul play is not suspected.
The man, Oscar Perez Cruz, 33, had been sitting at the bar, located at 184 Main St., and was very intoxicated when he fell off his bar stool. A bar employee helped him to another seat across the room near the jukebox and pool table, police reported.
At some point later, someone noticed Cruz wasn’t conscious, so an ambulance was called to Caesars’ Club. The 8 p.m. 911 call reported that Cruz was passed out but still breathing, however, paramedics started CPR shortly after arriving at the bar and police were also called to the scene.
