Police were investigating a 61-year-old man's death following a reported altercation over the weekend at an Akron home.

About 3:30 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a Cascade Valley home in the 200 block of East Lods Street, where the man was found unresponsive. Paramedics already were treating the man and took him to a hospital, where he died hours later.

Police said an altercation was reported at the home between the man and a 50-year-old woman. The woman is accused of interfering with officers and paramedics several times during the medical emergency.

Police identified the woman as Wendi Clark, 50, of Akron. She was charged with obstructing official business and domestic violence, a fourth-degree felony. Court records indicate she also lived in the 200 block of East Lods Street.
