Ryan Thompson, 32, was talking with his fiancee outside their home in the 7300 block of Southwest 17th Street around 3 p.m. when a man driving a dark-colored Sedan stopped and approached them, according to police records. The suspect drove up to Ryan Thompson and Lindsey Engquist on Monday, got out of the vehicle and then punched Thompson on the side of his face after saying he owed him money. Thompson was able to make it inside the home following the attack, but was slurring his words, according to the Des Moines Register. According to Thompson’s family, the blow to his head ruptured a blood clot on his brain that no one knew was there and doctors couldn’t stop it. “The bleeding had become too much and he had to be put on a ventilator and he was pretty much kept alive by machines and his mother made the best decision and decided that he should just go and be at peace,” said his 31-year-old fiancée. A 10-year-old witness described the suspect to police as a white man in his 40s, with long, slicked-back black hair and a clean-shaven face.

 Engquist told Des Moines police she didn't know the man. "We know that he was assaulted," Sgt. Paul Parizek told WHO. "Some of those details of how that happened are still a little sketchy. We think we've identified what the motivation may have been,” said Des Moines Police Sgt.  From left to right: Ashley Waddell, Ryan Thompson, and their children Gaven and Bridgit.

 A funeral will be held on Saturday for Thompson, who leaves behind a son and a daughter. "He was in love with his children," ex-wife Ashley Waddell told the Register. "They hold him on a pedestal that no one can touch." "He was the life of every party," Waddell told the Register. "He was so funny and had a huge heart. He truly made every one light up the moment he stepped in the room," Waddell said.
– A 32-year-old father of two is dead after a "sucker punch" to the head ruptured a blood clot on his brain that no one was aware of, his family tells WHO. Fiancée Lindsey Engquist calls it a "freak accident." According to the New York Daily News, Engquist and Scott Thompson were outside their home in Des Moines, Iowa, on Monday afternoon when a man drove up in a sedan. He got out of his car, said something about Thompson owing him money, and punched Thompson in the face. Engquist tells the Des Moines Register she had no idea who the man was. Thompson seemed OK at first, but started showing signs of a stroke a few minutes later. He was taken to the hospital, where doctors were unable to stop the bleeding from the blood clot. Thompson died Tuesday. “There's not enough I can say about him," Engquist tells WHO. "He was wonderful. He was just a wonderful guy.” Thompson's ex-wife agreed, telling the Register: "He was in love with his children. They hold him on a pedestal that no one can touch." Police have a suspect—a 10-year-old witness saw a white man in his 40s with long dark hair—and possible motive in the attack but aren't releasing that information at this time. It could take up to 10 weeks for the Polk County Medical Examiner to produce an official cause of death. (A passenger says a 10-hour flight caused blood clots that nearly killed him.)
