Mr Brynes is believed to have fell into the road during a heated argument on the pavement. His death is being treated as non-suspicious, police said.

“The Scottish Ambulance Service treated Mr Brynes at the scene but he later passed away at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. “His death is being treated as non-suspicious and a report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
