Philadelphia police have been investigating a violent brawl inside a hotel between the guests of two different wedding parties that left one man dead from an apparent heart attack, and three others arrested.
Dozens of police officers responded to the violent clash in the lobby of the Sheraton Society Hill in Philadelphia Sunday around 2 a.m. At one point the fight got so chaotic that police used batons on those who resisted their efforts to break up the fight. One person had to be subdued with a Taser. Police said the use of such force was justified.
A 57-year-old man was found apparently undergoing a heart attack on the street outside the hotel and later died at a nearby hospital. His name has not been released by police, but he was reportedly the uncle of one of the brides, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Police arrested three people following the brawl, including the man who was Tasered. Police said he would be charged with assault on a police officer, according to ABC station WPVI-TV.
"I just thought it was very sad, because it's suppose to be a special occasion and for something like that to happen, I just felt bad for the families," hotel guest Chris Himes told WPVI.
The entire melee was captured on video and posted on YouTube by hotel guest Max Schultz, who was awakened by the ruckus.
"There were tons of people, probably 75 to 100 people," he said.
Police said that the fight began as a confrontation between relatives and friends attending the wedding held at the hotel earlier Saturday night. When people attending a second wedding held elsewhere arrived at the hotel bar, police said the original confrontation escalated.
Police told WPVI that alcohol fueled the fight as rising tempers took over.
In the video, an officer can be seen trying to hold back one of the brides while a man in a tuxedo was thrown to the floor.
Schultz, who was in town celebrating his 15th birthday with his family, can be overhead in the video asking, "Did they just deck the bride?"
"They started shoving each other and at that point I had started fumbling with my camera," said Schultz.
Schultz's video is now evidence, and police continue to review it to determine if additional people will face charges for their actions at this wedding reception that unexpectedly became a real bash.
Suggest 1 Man Dead After Wedding Brawl - ABC News Topics Question by uncleclover: What in your view defines a "country"? No wrong answers, here. :-) Just more or less interesting ones. :-) Is a country an economic entity, acquiring its identity from the things that it sells to and purchases from other countries? Or is a country the system of laws & procedures put in place to regulate interactions between individual citizens within its borders & citizens, municipalities & commonwealth interactions with other countries? Or is it the land that all this happens upon and that falls within its control? Or perhaps a country is simply its people? Whatever your home country, be it the U.S. or the other side of the world, I'd love hearing your take on the idea of a "country" and what it means to you. :-) Ah, yes - sorry for the lack of clarity. :-) I am asking what you, personally, think of as a "country". This is kind of "beyond" the dictionary definition of a country. Another way to say it: There's the letter of the law, and then there's the spirit of the law. If your country were a letter, what would its spirit be? "Letter" in that case indicates the legal definition of a country - the books, the contracts, the documents, etc.... The "spirit" in this sense is the living definition of a country - what a country _is_ right now, at this moment. Of course, if the only factor you consider is a country's political boundaries, that's okay, too. :-) Best answer for What in your view defines a "country"?:

Answer by Eve L
Are you asking what defines a country in people's eyes, or are you asking for people's literal definition on what makes a place a country? I'll answer both to be careful. lol I feel a country is defined by how it is perceived through the eyes of the rest of the world. Much like a person. People will do what they want and see themselves however they want to, but in the end once the person has passed on the only memory of that person that will survive is everyone else's memory. I feel the same way about countries. It seems that living within a country one may develop a different perspective than what the rest of the world sees. Ya know? I have no given definition for the word "country" itself. It is one of those words that is just understood and goes without definition for me. Like the word "is" or "the"...how w ould you define those if you had to? Difficult to explain, but the meanings are generally understood even by toddlers.
