The 35-year-old man was taken to hospital in a “critical” condition after he was found with head injuries in Talavera Way, between Lings Way and Lumbertubs Way, on Saturday.

The cause of his injuries remain unknown and detectives are continuing to try to piece together what happened to the man.
A post-mortem is expected to be carried out on the man’s body tonight or tomorrow, when a cause of death will be established.
DS Keith Finson said: “We are keeping an open mind about what has happened and we are appealing for any witnesses to come forward with information.”

He is described as a 6ft white man in his 30s, of slim build, driving a small, metallic-coloured hatchback.
