A murder investigation has begun after the death of a 21-year-old East Sussex man found collapsed in the street following a Jubilee party.
Father-of-three James Harris Durkin, of Eastbourne, was discovered in Court Road, Orpington, south-east London, in the early hours of Tuesday.
The Met Police said he was taken to Royal London Hospital but later died.
Post-mortem tests on Thursday showed he died from a "deep brain bleed linked to blunt force trauma".
The Met Police have set up an incident room at Lewisham police station and appealed for witnesses.
A spokesman for the force said: "There were a number of people at the party which is in an area of adjoining residential premises.
"There were also, despite the early hours of the assault, people in the area either going to or returning from work in a part of Orpington."
Mr Harris Durkin initially travelled to Orpington from his home in Eastbourne to attend a funeral on Monday.
Officers said he then spent the evening celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee with family and friends in Court Road.

Tesco fights to win back shoppers - ITV
Tesco continues to lose out to rivals
The rivalry between supermarket giants Tesco and Sainsbury's will be in focus this week when the pair issue trading updates.
Tesco is expected to suffer another bloody nose on Monday when it reveals it has continued to lose out to rivals despite heavy discounting and a £1 billion recovery plan.
The chain, which is the UK's biggest supermarket with 2,800 stores, is fighting to win back shoppers after dire trading led to its first profits warning in 20 years, while its shares recently hit three-year lows.
Chief executive Philip Clarke, who recently declined his bonus because of the poor performance, has launched a recovery plan that has seen the grocer focus on revamping stores, hiring more staff and sharpening pricing.
