He has been named as Robert (Jonsey) Molloy-Jones, of Bluestone Hall.
Mr Molloy-Jones was found in the street near Parkmount Street and Seaview Close.

He was taken to hospital where he later died from injuries.
Detectives from PSNI Serious Crime Branch launched a murder enquiry following the death.
Mr Molloy-Jones was a devoted father to Matila and son of Lily and William, brother to Tracey, Karen, William, John, Amanda and Charlene.
The PSNI on Friday night were granted a 36-hour extension to a question man – aged 21 – who was arrested on suspicion of the murder of Mr Molloy-Jones.
