Michigan man dies months after alleged attack by DoorDash driver

A 75-year-old Wixom man who was allegedly attacked by a DoorDash driver back in December has died from his injuries on May 16, his family says

Lloyd Poole's stepdaughter, Lindsey Gonzalez, tells CBS Detroit that Poole and his wife had just gotten back from Ireland before this alleged attack, and they had plans to travel to Alaska. 

"It stinks that basically my mom and his golden years of traveling and being retired was taken away by this man," said Gonzalez.

"He had seven different brain surgeries during that time, numerous infections during that time. He ended up with pneumonia a couple times. It was just a downwhirl spiral since everything happened that night," said Gonzalez.

Police say on Dec. 28, officers were called to the area of Barberry Circle and Windingway Drive for a report of a man lying unconscious in the roadway. Authorities say that 40-year-old Ryan Daniel Turner, a DoorDash driver, went to the police station and admitted to punching Poole after he was confronted for speeding through the neighborhood.

"The medical examiner did rule the cause of death as homicide by blunt force head trauma," Gonzalez told CBS Detroit.

Records show that Turner was arraigned on one count of aggravated assault. He is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing. However, Poole's family says they are frustrated that Turner is out on bond.

"I mean, he's out on bond on house arrest on a tether, so he's not going anywhere, but he's still sitting out, and this happened to Lloyd," said Gonzalez. 

CBS News Detroit reached out to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office, which says it is aware of Poole's death. It is unclear if charges will be updated.
