LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Lincoln authorities say a 21-year-old man who was found unresponsive in a hot tub has died.

Police say Samson Goitom died at a hospital around 6 p.m. Wednesday after his family decided to discontinue life support. He was found around 6:45 p.m. Monday in the hot tub at the Fallbrook YMCA on north side of the capital city.

It’s unclear how long Goitom was under the water. An autopsy has been ordered.
