After a pensioner was discovered comatose outside a house in Swindon, a murder investigation was tried and the man passed away in the hospital.
A 70-year-old man was found unconscious in a property on Overbrook, close to Eldene Drive, early on Friday, June 21, and police and forensic investigators blocked it off.
Since then, he passed away in a hospital, and his heirs have been notified. It is acknowledged that investigators are remaining flexible with the situation.
After being detained on suspicion of attempting murder, a guy in his 40s was given bail and allowed to leave.
