"Police are awaiting results from an autopsy examination before potentially bringing additional charges against Nassadir Tate, 21, of Hillside, New Jersey, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office. He has a return court date of April 1 on an assault charge for now."
"Authorities say Tate was involved in a dispute Saturday with a man who was found unconscious and unresponsive around 7 p.m. on the northbound C/E platform at the 34th Street-Penn Station subway stop in Midtown Manhattan. EMS transported the 55-year-old man to Lenox Hill Hospital in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead."
"Tate was not charged with homicide because the medical examiner has not yet determined the cause of the 55-year-old's death, police said. Officials said Tate couldn't be held because he had no prior history of assault."
