Autopsy results don't show an exact cause of death for a Bennettsville man who died after a fist fight.

Police say they found Decoy Curtis unresponsive Friday night on Hudson Street in Bennettsville. He later died at a hospital.

Police tell us Curtis got into a fight with his cousin, Sammy Barker, over $41.00.

Officials aren't sure if blows Curtis suffered in the fight, caused his death. For now they've charged Barker with involuntary manslaughter.

Coroner Tim Brown is waiting on toxicology results in Curtis' death.
