A 102-year-old man has died after allegedly being assaulted at a south Wales pub.

Phillip Ormerod, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, was taken to hospital in a critical condition following the incident at the Crow's Nest pub in the town on 1 August.

Gwent Police confirmed on Thursday that he had since died.

A 56-year-old man from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, was arrested on suspicion of assault and remains under investigation.

Emergency services were called to the pub at about 22:25 BST following a report of an assault.

Det Ch Insp Shelley Comley, senior investigating officer for Gwent Police, said: "We understand the public interest in this incident but want to remind people that, not only is this an active criminal investigation, but there is a family at the heart of it processing the loss of a loved one."

She urged people to "consider the impact that inaccurate or speculative comments" including "online commentary" could have.

The force is urging anyone who was at the pub between 22:00 and 23:00 on the night of the incident to contact them.
