Police appeal for witnesses after death of man found in Cole Street

Police have named the dead man as Gheorghe Agiurgioaei, a 47-year-old Romanian national who lived in Trinity Church Square.

An ambulance was called at approximately 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday 31 May to reports of a man who had collapsed on Cole Street.

On arrival paramedics found a man suffering head injuries and he was transferred to St Thomas' Hospital where he died on Wednesday 2 June.

A post-mortem on Friday at Greenwich mortuary did not establish a formal cause of death and further tests are now being carried out.

Detectives from Southwark are investigating and are treating the death as unexplained at this stage.
