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 losing market share - ITV
A trading update for the first quarter of Tesco's financial year is expected to reveal that the recovery plan has yet to gain momentum, and the group is still losing market share amid the price war and a buoyant performance from discounters Iceland, Aldi and Lidl.
Andrew Kasoulis, an analyst at Credit Suisse, expects like-for-like sales excluding fuel and VAT to decline 1.5 per cent in the 13 weeks to May 26, in only a slight improvement on the 1.6 per cent fall in the previous quarter.
The sales performance comes at a time when food price inflation has been more than 4 per cent, indicating that underlying sales volumes at Tesco are significantly down. Tesco has been trying to turn around its performance through a raft of special offers, including money-off vouchers.
