A man whose death was incorrectly reported by police in Northamptonshire has now died in hospital.

Simon Middleton, 38, of Irthlingborough, was injured in an incident at a birthday party at the Band Club in the town on Saturday.

He was taken to Kettering General Hospital following the incident.

Police reported on Monday morning he had died from his injuries, but later apologised and said they acted in good faith. But he died later on Monday.

A post-mortem examination will be held into Mr Middleton's death. Two men, arrested in connection with the incident, have been released on bail.
