Autopsy results are back on the 35-year-old man who was found injured at a local bar in Florence and later died.
The District Attorney says the death is suspicious, but right now they are not calling the death a murder.
Police got a call of an injured man at the Silk City Tap Room in Florence early Saturday morning.
They rushed 35-year-old John Connell to the hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
We are now learning the man was involved in a fight with another man prior to his fatal injury.
District Attorney Elizabeth Schiebel told CBS 3 Springfield the autopsy found visible trauma to the victims head.
Again they are calling this death suspicious, but they have not ruled on a cause and manner of the death pending a further investigation.
Northampton and the state police have interviewed several people who were at the bar when it happened.
If you have any information, call Northampton Police.

To John's family and friends he will be missed greatly. He is home with God now. I know I will miss him forever.
