Atascadero man dies after altercation outside SLO County bar
An Atascadero man who was critically injured in an altercation outside Outlaws Bar last week has died.
Just before 2 a.m. on Nov. 24, Lucky Thomas was found unconscious and suffering from a “significant head injury,” the Atascadero Police Department said in a news release Monday.
Thomas, 30, was transported to the Adventist Health Sierra Vista hospital in critical condition, police said.
On Wednesday night, police were notified that Thomas had died from his injuries.
Police said a preliminary investigation indicated Thomas was involved in an altercation in the parking lot of the bar and suffered the head injury after falling to the ground when a third party broke it up.
