Investigations are ongoing as a man's death in Glasgow is being treated as "unexplained"
Emergency services were called to a disturbance at Whitevale Gardens in Dennistoun in the early hours of Sunday.
Craig Watson was found seriously injured and died shortly afterwards.
Detectives say the 39 year-old was assaulted after a fight involving a number of people and are looking to speak to a number of youths who were in the area around the time of the incident.
Detective Chief Inspector Cameron Miller from Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team said: "Enquiries are ongoing to establish the exact cause of Mr Watson's death, however, at this time we believe that he had been assaulted after becoming involved in an altercation with a number of people in the Whitevale Gardens area shortly before he was found injured.
"Whitevale Gardens is a residential area and I am sure local residents would have either seen or heard what happened and I would encourage them to come forward if they have not already done so.
"From our investigation so far, we know that there were a number of youths in the area before and after midnight, Saturday night into Sunday morning.
"It is extremely important that these young people contact the police and provide any details that may assist us with the investigation."
