Cummins County, Georgia, authorities are investigating the death of a man who was found beaten and thrown on a street a few days after he won the lottery.

The Forsyth News portal reported that on Saturday Chris Gudaitis, a paramedic who was off duty and returning with a friend from a wedding, discovered Charles Barrett, 59, lying on a Cummins street and the Good Samaritan immediately tried to resuscitate him with chest compressions.

Although the paramedic at first thought that the man had been hit by a vehicle, when seeing that the blows and bruises were only in his face, he deduced that he had received a beating. Barrett won a few days ago on Monday, two days before he was removed from the medical team that was keeping him alive. "It is a tragic story with a tragic ending," Gudaitis told reporters. "But it makes me feel better to know that I was able to help his family [so they could] say goodbye to him, and not let him die on the side of the road."
