Sometimes, you are trying to do the right thing by volunteering to your local homeless shelter and then you die in such a crazy manner like this man. 
QUOTE A man, who volunteered at a homeless shelter, has died after he was beaten over a dispute about 75 cents, according to police reports in Ohio.
Hospital officials said that four days after a brutal assault stemming from a dispute over 75 cents, a resident and volunteer worker at a rescue mission in downtown Toledo died on Wednesday.
Joseph Meyers, 53, was pronounced dead at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center at 5:58 pm, Toledo police said Thursday.
Sergeant Joe Heffernan said police plan to file a murder charge against his alleged assailant, Houston Hart, 49, when the case goes before a grand jury in Lucas County.
Hart faces a charge of criminal assault, for which he was arrested and detained in the Lucas County jail in lieu of $1 million bond.
Police said Meyers, 53, was beaten and trampled on Saturday in the Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission, located at 1917 Jefferson Avenue, After refusing to give Hart 75 cents. Source 3
