"He did see the victim, Mr. Griswold, near that food doing dishes, said that he went over and grabbed Mr. Griswold from behind, grabbed his back and threw Mr. Griswold to the right and tossed him to the side," said the prosecutor, while speaking to Mirror US.

Lombardi, who panicked after the man fell, dialled 911 and was taken into custody later.&nbsp;

The man was charged with assault, involuntary manslaughter, and battery on a person more than 60 and pleaded not guilty.

Since 2008, the two men had rented their Marshfield house, and they had been staying together since 2001.
