DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – A man died a few hours after he was found lying next to a dumpster, and detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Unit are asking for the public’s help to solve the case. According to authorities, shortly before 4 p.m. Friday, September 24, Broward Regional Communications received a medical emergency call near the 700 block of South Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach.

Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue responded and located 55-year-old Timothy Kylow lying in distress next to a dumpster. Kylow was transported by paramedics to an area hospital and died a few hours later. According to investigators, Kylow informed hospital staff that he was assaulted before he died; however, the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office autopsy report indicates that Kylow may have been the victim of a hit-and-run.
