Mr Chandler, previously known as Adam Holmes, was found unconscious near to Pool Meadow bus station around 10.50am.
The 51-year-old was taken to University Hospital, but despite the best efforts of staff he sadly died.

“The incident began with the theft of a bicycle from outside McDonalds in Coventry city centre which culminated in a fight in Lady Herbert’s Garden.
“I want to appeal to anyone who was in the area on Monday and saw what happened to contact me as a matter of urgency.”
