POLICE have launched a murder inquiry after a man in his 20s was found dead in a holiday park.
The holidaymaker's body was found hours after he was allegedly assaulted on the seafront promenade in Felixstowe, Suffolk.
The assault was reported at around 9.20pm on Saturday beside Undercliff Road West.
The man, who has not been named yet, was found dead at around 10.20am on Sunday in a rented mobile home at Suffolk Sands holiday park in Carr Road where he was staying with family.
Suffolk Police confirmed today a post mortem by a Home Office pathologist this morning had given his preliminary cause of death as a traumatic head injury.
A 28-year-old man from Felixstowe was arrested last night on suspicion of murder.

"It is important to note that we believe this to be an isolated incident with no wider threat to members of the public."
Police had been treating the death of the man as "unexplained" prior to the post mortem.
He is said to have been the only person reported injured in the assault.
Officers were called to the scene of the assault on Saturday and the discovery of the man's body by the East of England Ambulance Service the next day.
The mobile home where the man died remained cordoned off by Suffolk Police last night with an officer in a patrol car parked beside it.
A resident of a nearby mobile home said he believed the man who died was a holidaymaker, possibly staying with his grandfather and others.
The man said: "They had only been here a couple of nights. It is terrible that this young lad lost his life."
Another added: "This is a close knit community around here. People are quite upset and wondering how he could have died."
Suffolk Sands is operated by Park Holidays which describes it on its website as "a small relaxing park" with a "stunning beach front location" in a "peaceful and tranquil setting".
Mobile homes can be rented on the site in August from around £700 a week.
Suffolk Police want to hear from anyone who may have witnessed an altercation or who has any information about the man's death.
This includes anyone with CCTV or video doorbell footage, taken in the area of Ranelagh Road and Undercliff Road West, Felixstowe, between 8.30pm and 9.20pm on Saturday.
Officers also want to hear from any motorists with a dash camera who were driving in the area.
