A North College Hill, OH man who was the victim of a brutal beating by a group of “bored” teenagers last August has died.

The Hamilton County Prosecutors office confirmed that 46-year-old Pat Mahaney passed away on Friday morning, less than a year after receiving a vicious beating that caused him to suffer internal bleeding and put him in the hospital for four days.

The cause of death is still unknown and results from Mahaney’s autopsy will not be released for several weeks.

The man was assaulted on Aug. 11, 2012 in North College Hill by a group of teenagers, ages 13 and 14, who told police they were bored and looking for something to do.

North College Hill Police Chief Gary Foust told ABC that the juveniles jumped Mahaney from behind and hit him in the head with a six-pack of beer he had just bought.

“As they were approaching the individual they actually discussed this event, before actually doing the event,” Foust said. Six teens were arrested in relation to the attack and charged with felonious assault and aggravated riot.

Three of the six teenagers pleaded guilty to the felonious assault charges after prosecutors agreed to drop the aggravated riot charges, ABC reported.

Should the autopsy reveal that Mahaney’s death was caused or contributed to by the beating he received last year, the youngsters could face additional charges.

  2. If darkers do not want stereotype, better not do much perpetual stink. A lot good. A lot bad. Raise ’em more right, or hang selves.

  4. SEE THAT’S THE PREJUDICE AND RACIST STUFF THAT NEED TO BE DONE AWAY WITH. IT WAS WRONG FOR THEM TO BEAT THIS MAN AND THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED BUT TO ACT LIKE WHITE PEOPLE DON’T DO THIS SAME STUFF IS RIDICULOUS AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE. THE DARKERS WOW. PEOPLE ARE SO DUMB WITH THE STUFF THEY SAY TO JUSTIFY THEIR PREJUDICES, SO YOU DON’T THINK THE WAY YOU TREAT PEOPLE AND ACT TOWARDS PEOPLE DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS. MAYBE IF WE LEARN TO GET ALONG TOGETHER INSTEAD OF TREATING EACH OTHER IN SUCH AN INHUMANE MANNER THINGS WOULD CHANGE. BUT THAT IS TOO MUCH LIKE RIGHT AND YOU JUSTIFYING IT IS THE SAME REASON PEOPLE JUSTIFY THE REASON THEY ACT THIS WAY. WHITES AND BLACKS DO THE SAME THING THEY ARGUE, FIGHT, AND KILL EACH OTHER (THERE IS WHITE ON WHITE CRIME TOO AND IT HAPPENS JUST AS MUCH JUST NOT REPORTED AS MUCH), WHICH IS SO STUPID. THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER IF WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER. ALL BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T BAD LIKE ALL WHITE PEOPLE AREN’T BAD. YOU GET STEREOTYPED TOO WHY YOU THINK THERE IS SO MUCH HATRED TOWARD EACH OTHER. DOES YOUR COLOR OF SKIN MAKE IT OK FOR YOU TO DO THESE TYPE OF THINGS AND NOT EXPECT IT BACK BE REAL. PEOPLE SAY BLACK PEOPLE KILL EACH OTHER IN GANG VIOLENCE BUT THE ARE WHITE GANGS THAT DO THE SAME AND ISN’T THERE GROUPS OF DIFFERENT GANGS CALLE OTHER MOB THAT GO AROUND KILLING EACH OTHER, DOES IT MAKE IT DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE AND SO CALLED ORGANIZED? IT SHOULDN’T BECAUSE THEIR ACTIONS ARE NO DIFFERENT!!!! YOU WANT THINGS TO CHANGE HELP MAKE THEM CHANGE AND STOP FEEDING INTO AND HELPING PROMOTING THE HATRED BETWEEN EACH OTHER!!!!

  5. There’s always one idiot that gets behind a computer screen and feels all big and tough, so he makes 4 fake accounts and posts the same thing on each just to try and rile people up and cause trouble. Maybe instead, get a job and move out of your parent’s basement? Freaking trolls.

  8. A whole article and not once is it mentioned that the six teens who beat this man senseless were all black and this man white… where is the outrage? I think the victim’s family should ask the DOJ for an investigation regarding the victim’s civil rights.
