A man who tried to break up a fist fight Thursday died in the hospital two days after being punched in the head during the scuffle.

According to Richland County sheriff's deputies, the fight happened on Wakefield Road between 22-year-old Rashad Stuckey and another man. During the fight, a third man was hit as he intervened.

The victim, whose name has not been released, checked himself into Palmetto Health Richland Hospital on Friday complaining of headaches. On Saturday, he died from his injuries, according to deputies.

Deputies have charged Stuckey, who turned himself in Sunday afternoon, with involuntary manslaughter.
