A British pensioner has tragically passed away after being assaulted by burglars who broke into his home in the town of Estepa, near Seville, Spain. The 81-year-old expat, identified only by his initials AHB, was attacked on Sunday evening and rushed to La Merced Hospital in Osuna.
According to Spanish police, the man was discharged from the hospital hours after the incident, only to be re-admitted and subsequently pass away in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Reports indicate that the victim had told officers at the scene that one of the intruders had pushed him over as he attempted to stop them from breaking in.
A spokesperson for the Civil Guard in Seville, which is investigating the incident, said: “Officers responded to the incident around 7pm on Sunday and took the victim to hospital. He died in the early hours of Wednesday morning. No arrests have yet been made and we are still investigating.”
In addition, a police source added: “The victim told officers he had been pushed by one of the intruders as he tried to resist the break-in. He fell to the ground and was taken to hospital and tragically died some days later.”
This lack of formal statement has complicated the investigation, as officers are working off the victim's account of the incident before he was hospitalized. No details have been released yet as to why the man was allowed to return home before being readmitted to the hospital.
Local reports suggest that police are currently searching for three suspects, although detectives have yet to confirm this information. The investigation is ongoing and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.
