Murder investigation launched as man dies after being thrown out of Yorkshire rock club

James Adam Kelly, from Leeds, died in hospital on May 2, just hours after he was thrown out of Vintage Rock Bar on Silver Street in Doncaster on May 1.

He was then involved in an altercation with three other men once outside the nightclub. Officers from South Yorkshire Police gave Mr Kelly, aged 30, CPR until paramedics arrived and took him to hospital, but he could not be saved.

His family and friends have been informed and they are being supported by specially trained officers, the force said. A post-mortem is due to take place today (May 3).

Three men were arrested at the scene on suspicion of Section 18 wounding. The men, a 40-year-old from Worksop, a 26-year-old from Nottingham and a 33-year-old from Doncaster, have now been arrested on suspicion of murder.

A statement from South Yorkshire Police said: "Enquiries remain ongoing. Officers and detectives would like to thank the many members pf the public who have so far come forward to help with the investigation and have provided evidence, photographs and video footage to support it.

"But detectives would still like to speak to anybody who may have been either inside or outside Vintage Rock Bar at the time who may be able to assist enquiries that they have not yet spoken to."
