He suffered multiple fractures to his skull and was taken to St Vincent’s Hospital in a critical condition. The man died today.
A 34-year-old man remains before the court on a charge of recklessly cause grievous bodily harm after being arrested on Thursday 3 November 2016.
He is next expected to appear at Central Local Court on Thursday 17 November 2016.
Police anticipate the charge will be upgraded to murder.
