West Yorkshire Police said he died later in hospital.

Det Ch Insp Helen Steele said the force was treating Mr Griffiths' death as unexplained, and urged anyone with information to come forward.

"We are still working to establish the circumstances surrounding how Craig came to be unconscious in the street and what exactly has led to his death," she said.

"We are treating his death as unexplained and are still trying to build up as full a picture as we can of his movements in the time leading up to when he was found unconscious in the street in Wedgewood Close on Sunday morning," she added.
