Soccer referee dead after punch in head

A soccer match turns deadly for a referee.

A man who was punched in the head over the weekend while refereeing an adult-league soccer match in suburban Detroit has died.

Police in Livonia say the suspect, already charged with assault, will likely have the charges upgraded.

The victim was a 44-year-old hospital technician.

Authorities say the man who punched him was angered because he was about to be ejected from the game.
