Atlanta police say they were responding to a 911 call about what appeared to be a domestic dispute that later was revealed to be a hoax.

He injured his leg on one of the wooden fence posts and eventually died from blood loss, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner.

His death has been ruled an accident.
