Onlookers alleged that he had been thrown through a window but South Yorkshire Police have not confirmed this.

A post mortem examination to establish the cause of death was inconclusive and further tests are to be carried out.

Detectives arrested four men - aged 29, 37, 41 and 48-years-old - on suspicion of assault and they have been released on bail pending further enquiries.

Officers are now appealing for any witnesses to the incident, which happened on Sunday, May 14, at 10.30pm, to come forward.
