Harry Grey, a 62-year-old black man, died Thursday, June 24, at a convalescent home in the 12000 block of Riverside Drive in North Hollywood, according to coroner's records.
Ed Winter, a spokesman for the coroner's office, said Grey was in a physical altercation sometime in 2009, which resulted in him become comatose.
He never regained consciousness, Winter said. Grey was being taken care of at a convalescent home until his death on Thursday.
Winter had no additional information about where Grey was injured or how it occurred.
As of Tuesday, Grey's autopsy had not been completed and an official cause of death had not been released.
