In Pittsburgh, authorities are currently investigating the mysterious death of a man at a strip club in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. Otilio Lugo-Rivera, hailing from Dillsburg, was discovered deceased on Saturday at the establishment located on the 100 block of N. Front St. in Steelton, as reported by CBS 21. The venue, known as “The Hideout” club, became the scene of intense scrutiny early in the morning.
According to CBS 21, law enforcement was alerted and arrived at the scene around 5:30 a.m. to find the 35-year-old man unresponsive inside the club. Despite the immediate life-saving efforts by first responders, Lugo-Rivera was pronounced dead. The Steelton Police Department has labeled his death as “suspicious,” sparking a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo disclosed to CBS 21 that Lugo-Rivera had been involved in an altercation at the club prior to his death. However, it remains uncertain whether the fight played a role in his demise. An autopsy scheduled for Tuesday is expected to shed light on the exact cause and manner of Lugo-Rivera’s death.
Further reports from Penn Live reveal that “The Hideout” operates from a rented space, where a promoter manages the entry fee for events and advises patrons to bring their own alcohol. The investigation continues, and it is yet to be determined if any charges will be filed in relation to Lugo-Rivera’s death.
