LOS ANGELES — A California sheriff's office said Thursday that investigators do not have video that shows the “actual incident” that preceded a Jewish man’s fatal injury as pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators were at an intersection. Paul Kessler, 69, died Monday, one day after he struck his head in the fall in Thousand Oaks, a city in the Los Angeles area just across the Ventura County line, officials said.
Fryhoff said Tuesday that investigators were trying to find out exactly what occurred, including 'whether or not there was a blow to the face that caused the fall, or if Mr. Kessler fell without that being the precipitating event.' There are also conflicting accounts from witnesses, the sheriff's office said. 'There was clearly an interaction between the two, but what that level of interaction is is still unclear,' Fryhoff said.
