<span style="letter-spacing:0px">An autopsy has been completed on the North College Hill man who died Friday, nearly a year after he was severely beaten in what police said was an unprovoked, vicious attack by six teen boys.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">The cause of death for Pat Mahaney, 46, will not be released until all test results, including toxicology, are back, a process expected to take at least several weeks, said a spokesman for the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters asked for the autopsy Friday after Mahaney died at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.</span>Mahaney’s family said he became sick with a sudden illness Wednesday.</p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">“This whole incident has been a tragic event for the Mahaney family,” North College Hill Police Chief Gary Foust said today. “The North College Hill Police Department is in consultation with the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office pending the results of the autopsy.”</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">Mahaney was so traumatized over the attack, he neglected his own health, became a recluse, his family said. He even refused to talk to probation officers seeking his input as they prepared sentencing recommendations on two of the six teens for Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">When the two boys, both 14, were sentenced last month to probation, work details and community service, Mahaney also declined to appear in the courtroom to face them and tell them how the beating impacted his life.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">He only gave one media interview, to The Enquirer, last summer, the day after he was released from the hospital. He refused all other requests then and ever since.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">His family said over the weekend the August 2012 beating “took him over the edge” and he wouldn’t even leave his house to go to the doctor.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">Three other teens also have pleaded guilty to felonious assault and face sentencing. Their cases have been delayed. The boys’ lawyers have asked Hunter to close the proceedings to the public or, at the very least, restrict parts related to the teens' psychological evaluations. They also asked her to bar reporters from the hearing.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">Hunter said she would review psychological reports on two of the teens, both 13, privately chambers and then make her decision later this month.</span>She also wants an expert to weigh in on whether media coverage of the case is mentally damaging the teens.</p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">A sixth teen is fighting the charges and is expected to go to trial at some point. </span>Now, attorneys representing all the teens are wondering how Mahaney’s death might affect their clients’ cases.</p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">I</span>f Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Lakshmi Kode Sammarco rules Mahaney’s death to be related to the beating, that could affect criminal prosecutions of the accused attackers.</p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">The case has been controversial since the start. The attack drew national attention because of its severity and because the six boys told police that they ambushed Mahaney from behind merely because they were “bored.” </span>Outrage spawned protests and counter-protests.</p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">According to a police report, the boys - who were all 13 at the time - jumped Mahaney from behind as he walked home from a convenience store after buying a six-pack of beer at 8:40 p.m. Aug. 11, 2012.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">They punched him in the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground in the 2000 block of Dallas Avenue- just down the street from his mother’s house, where he was living.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">Mahaney stayed on the ground and said he was knocked unconscious almost immediately.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">The teens repeatedly punched and kicked him in the face and head. One of the teens also hurled an unopened can of beer at Mahaney’s head.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">The boys told police they only stopped beating Mahaney when a neighbor started to yell at them and threatened to call the police.</span></p>
<p style="font:12px/normal Arial;margin:0px 0px 25px;color:rgb(44,44,44);font-size-adjust:none;font-stretch:normal"><span style="letter-spacing:0px">When officers caught up with the boys and asked them why they attacked the unemployed factory worker, “they stated that they were just bored and were looking for something to do,” a police report states.</span></p>
