Police are appealing to the public for information following the death of a man in North Devon.
The incident happened yesterday (Thursday 7 February) after a resident of a property discovered a man in his garden, unconscious and with serious head injuries, on East Street, Braunton.
He was initially taken to North Devon District Hospital in a critical condition.
The 60-year-old local man was later transferred to Derriford Hospital for treatment but died earlier this afternoon (Friday 8 February) – his next of kin have been made aware of this development.
Detective Sergeant Steve Bates, said: “Enquiries are underway and we are desperate to piece together what has happened, and what has led this individual to sustain these head injuries which ultimately proved fatal.
