Pensioner Attacked In Coventry Dies
An elderly man who was assaulted in Coventry in August has died in hospital.
Mr Joginder Singh, 80, from Canley, was admitted to hospital in August following an assault which took place in Trinity Street in the city centre on 10th August.
He was discharged from the hospital and later re-admitted for a diagnosed illness which he was being treated for until his death on Sunday 3rd November.
A post mortem examination was conducted on Monday (4 November) to establish a cause of death. The results from the post mortem were inconclusive and further tests will now be conducted over the coming weeks.
Coral Millerchip, 19, was charged with assaulting Mr Singh and in an earlier court hearing admitted punching him in the face.
She was due to appear at court later this month for sentencing but due to Mr Singh's death detectives have notified the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and will await a decision over what further steps may need to be taken. It is now highly likely Millerchip's sentencing will be adjourned until early 2014.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Markham, from Coventry CID, said: "Following the assault Mr Singh was readmitted to hospital and was being treated for a diagnosed condition and at this stage it is unclear if that is directly connected with the assault.
"Our thoughts remain with the family and those affected by Mr Singh's death and we will continue to work with CPS and the coroner to establish the cause of death.
"Specialist family liaison police officers have been appointed to liaise with Mr Singh's next of kin and we will continue to support the family at this sad time."
