Fifty-year-old Michael Yakubec of Hobart was charged with murder Sunday, three days after paramedics found John Yakubec sprawled in his bathtub, fully clothed and dry, following a reported fall in the shower.
He was brought to a Hobart hospital with large lacerations to his head and other injuries, and later died at a Chicago hospital.
The Times of Northwest Indiana reported an attending Hobart physician told officers the injuries were consistent with multiple blows, not a fall.
An autopsy determined his death to be a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to the head.
Online court records don’t list an attorney for Michael Yakubec, who was being held without bond in Lake County.
