He died in hospital a few weeks later.

On Monday, the Metropolitan Police released a CCTV clip of three men trying to break in to another house near Mr Gouldstone's home on the same evening, 5 November.

Detective Inspector Alison Cole, said: "We believe there were at least three men involved in this attempted burglary and we are very keen to speak to them.
