A man pleaded not guilty today in Lowell District Court to a manslaughter charge stemming from a deadly bar fight overnight, according to a release from the Middlesex District Attorney's office.

Alex Adorno, 28, was held on $1,000 cash bail. Police arrested him this morning in connection with the death of William Peters, 35, who was found unconscious at Captain John's Bar on Westford Street at about 12:50 a.m. Peters was rushed to Lowell General Hospital and pronounced dead.

Police allege that Peters died after fighting with Adorno. The two men knew each other before the fight, according to district attorney's office.

The office of the chief medical examiner has scheduled an autopsy for later today.
