An Oregon man died Sunday evening after suffering injuries at the Rehab pool at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin said the county's fire department responded at 5:45 p.m. Sunday to a report of a man with a head injury in the pool area of the Hard Rock, 4455 Paradise Road.

The man was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. The coroner's office identified the man as Matthew Williams, 27, of Happy Valley, Ore.

The coroner hasn't determined the cause of death.

Hard Rock Hotel officials this morning said they weren't commenting on the incident. A Metro Police spokesman said police aren't involved because there was nothing criminal about the death.
