A man who collapsed and died at the entrance of the Black Rock Police Police Station this morning has been identified as John Jose Cave, 27, of Flagstaff, Clapham, St Michael.
Police Public Relations Officer, Acting Inspector Rodney Inniss, said lawmen received a report after 2 a.m. informing them that a man was in the area of Skeete Road, Fairfield, Black Rock, St Michael throwing stones and bottles, breaking windows damaging cars and houses.

He was handed over to lawmen and taken to the Black Rock Police station. As he was entering the station office he collapsed on the floor and medical assistance was summoned, said the police spokesman.
A doctor later pronounced him dead.
Inniss said police have launched an unnatural death investigation.
