A Martha’s Vineyard man was killed at a hotel near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, while visiting his father this month, and a man has been charged with his murder, according to Florida authorities and a family friend.

On Aug. 2 around 3:30 p.m., the Broward sheriff’s office received a report that a man had been found on the bathroom floor inside a guest room at the Rodeway Inn and Suites in Dania Beach, the agency said in a statement last week.

Sheriff’s deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue personnel arrived to find a man who had suffered multiple wounds, the sheriff’s office said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
