He died a short time later.

Officers visited pubs in the city on Thursday to hand out leaflets and speak to pub goers and bar staff.

Martin Simpson had four children and was a grandfather

Detective Chief Inspector Mark Wilson said: "We are hoping to jog people's memory or to find people who are unaware of this incident at this stage so we can find out exactly what happened to Mr Simpson."

Following his death, Mr Simpson's family released a statement.

"He was a very happy-go-lucky person who lived for the moment.

"Although he was a private person he was very sociable and enjoyed going out.
