A 102-year-old man has died after allegedly being assaulted at a pub in South Wales, police say.
Phillip Ormerod, from Cwmbran, was taken to hospital in a critical condition following the reported incident at the town's Crow's Nest pub around 10.25pm on 1 August.
Gwent Police confirmed on Thursday that he has since died.
A 56-year-old man from Llanelli was arrested on suspicion of section 20 assault and remains under investigation.
DCI 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.
"Please consider the impact that inaccurate or speculative comments - particularly online commentary - could have on them and the ongoing investigation as a whole."
Gwent Police are looking to speak to anyone who was in the pub between 10pm and 11pm on the night of the incident.
