Inquiries into how Mr Burrows came about his injuries are ongoing and two men seen on CCTV at 12.45am on Monday are still being asked to come forward.

A post mortem examination confirmed that Mr Burrows died from head injuries. Police believe that he may have fallen.

It is thought that the men saw the 59-year old stagger down an alleyway off New Street at the time.

The men are described as white men in their late teens or early 20s. One had short brown hair and was wearing a dark waist- length top with a white diagonal stripe across it.

The second man also had short dark hair and was wearing black trousers and a blue denim jacket.

Anyone with information is urged to call 0845 6060606.
