A 58-year-old American man has died in hospital three weeks after a being hit by a van in Trinity.
The victim has been named by police as Doctor William Noel from Philadelphia. His family has asked for privacy.
Mr Noel was a pedestrian at the time of the collision, which happened on Trinity Crescent around 5.50pm on Wednesday 10 April, and also involved a white Citroen Relay van.
He was taken to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh where he died as a result of his injuries last night.
The driver of the van, a 40-year-old man, was arrested and released pending further enquiries.
Officers have previously appealed for a female nurse who came to Dr Noel’s aid but left prior to police arrival to come forward. She has since been identified and has assisted with enquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland via 101 quoting incident number 2772 of 10 April.
