He had been involved in a fight after going out to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday. It was not thought that he had been a regular at the Duke's Head pub.
His post-mortem concluded that his cause of death was severe head injury.
The pub was described as busy but because it was cold at the time, only smokers had been outside. It was thought that the assault had happened in Thames Place which was just off of Lower Richmond Road to the side of the pub.
A 28-year-old man was later arrested on 11 December 2012 in Exeter on suspicion of murder but later released without charge. He had handed himself in voluntarily.
