Man dies in hospital after being found unconscious in street

A man has died after being found unconscious in the street in Welshpool.

The man, who police said was in his 40s, died in hospital after being found unconscious in the street in the early hours of Sunday, January 30.

He was found on the junction of Berriew Street and Broad Street, at around 1.30am.

Dyfed-Powys Police launched an appeal for information stating that the man was in a critical condition in hospital. However, they have now said that he has died as a result of his injuries.

The man had left the Angel pub at around 1am. CCTV footage from Berriew Street showed that the man fell over.

As a result of the police appeal officers were able to get CCTV access from a shop keeper which showed there was no third party involvement in the death.

DS Adam Clark of Dyfed-Powys police said: “We had CCTV footage of the man leaving the Angel pub and walking down Berriew Street, however, the cameras did not capture the moment he fell.

“Following our appeal a local shopkeeper provided CCTV footage that clearly shows there was no third-party involvement.

“We would like to thank those that came forward and allowed us to provide an explanation of what happened to the man’s family.”
