Stephen Ridgeway, 72, died almost five weeks after he was attacked when his Keynsham home was burgled.
A murder investigation has been launched after a man died following an aggravated burglary at his home near Bristol.
It was reported that two men forced their way inside, assaulted him and stole property including alcohol and mobile phones. Avon and Somerset Police said a man in his 30s was arrested prior to Mr Ridgeway's death on suspicion of aggravated burglary.The preliminary findings of a post-mortem examination were that the injuries that Mr Ridgeway sustained contributed to his death.In an appeal on Friday 8 November, officers called for anyone with information or CCTV dashcam footage to come forward.
"We have no evidence of any wider risk to the community, but I'd urge anyone who has concerns to speak with the neighbourhood policing team, who will be a reassuring uniformed presence while we make these further enquiries."
