HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? Barnstable police and a Hyannis Fire Department ambulance crew were dispatched to 215 Main Street around 1:40 a.m. Thursday after a resident reported that a neighbor may have been thrown from a second-floor balcony.

Once he was receiving advanced care, officers moved into investigative mode. A crime-scene photographer from the Barnstable County Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit documented the scene at 215 Main Street and later at the hospital. Police interviewed possible witnesses.
