102-year-old man dies at beer parlour after alleged assault

A 102-year-old great-grandfather, Phillip Ormerod, has died days after he was allegedly pushed from a stage at the Crow’s Nest pub in Cwmbran, South Wales.

According to Gwent Police, emergency services were called to the pub on August 1, after the incident, and Ormerod was taken to hospital with a broken hip. He later died from his injuries.

Peoples Gazette reported that police arrested a 56-year-old man from Llanelli on suspicion of grievous bodily harm before releasing him.

Ormerod’s son, Robert, said his father had asked for the music to be turned down before he was allegedly pushed.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing and urged the public to avoid speculation.
