Suffolk County police are investigating the death of a Bellport man after a fight early Sunday in East Patchogue.
Around 2:45 a.m., police responded to a report of a fight outside a home on Taylor Avenue in East Patchogue.
Police determined that Carlos Bonaparte, 44, had been struck in the head with an unknown object during the fight.
