Son pays tribute to dad, 102, who died after allegedly being assaulted in pub
Police and paramedics were called to The Crow's Nest pub in Cwmbran on 1 August
The son of a 102-year-old great-grandfather who died after allegedly being assaulted at a south Wales pub says he was a "pub character".
Phillip Ormerod, from Cwmbran, Torfaen, was taken to hospital in a critical condition following the incident at the Crow's Nest pub in the town on 1 August.
Gwent Police confirmed on Thursday that he had since died.
A 56-year-old man from Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, was arrested on suspicion of inflicting grievous bodily harm, and remains under investigation.
Ormerod's son, Robert Ormerod, said his dad had been diagnosed with dementia and was a widower who lived alone.
Phillip Ormerod was a "pub character" who was diagnosed with dementia, his son says
"I feel sad - even though he could be difficult because of his age and dementia, still, you get used to him being around," he said.
"Even though I suppose he wouldn't go on forever, he would've carried on I think for a bit."
Robert Ormerod, a retired civil engineer, said his father used to visit the Crow's Nest regularly and described him as a popular character who young people would buy beer for when he visited the bar.
