A 24-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a man died following an incident at a pub.

A man aged 43 was found dead by ambulance workers at an address in East Haddon in Northampton at 05:45 GMT on Sunday morning.

Officers said his death followed an incident on Saturday evening at Rosie O’Leary’s pub on Fish Street in Northampton.

The man who was arrested is from the Daventry area and remains in custody, police said.

Officers are now appealing for information.

A forensic post-mortem examination was unable to establish a provisional cause of death.

Det Chief Insp Simon Barnes said: "First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victim’s family, loved ones and friends at this completely devastating time.

"Our fast-moving investigation is dedicated to answering all the necessary questions about what has led to this man’s death.

"I would ask anyone who has information, no matter how small it may seem, to share it with us as soon as you can."
