The department on Sunday morning issued the following press release: 

"At approximately 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug.13, Roseville Police were dispatched to United Hospital on a report of a Roseville resident who had succumbed to injuries allegedly received from an unreported assault incident which had occurred earlier in the week.

Investigating officers determined the victim had been transported by ambulance to United Hospital during the early morning hours of August 13th suffering from seizures and vomiting. During the course of treatment, the victim passed away.
