JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Early Tuesday morning, a man succumbed to multiple stab wounds at an assisted living facility in Northwest Jacksonville, as reported by Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Steve Rudlaff to First Coast News.

When officers arrived, Rudlaff said they found the unidentified man suffering from multiple stab wounds. According to Rudlaff, the man was between 70 and 75 years old.
Rudlaff said members of the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department then responded to the scene, and upon their arrival, the man was pronounced dead.
