Philip McCauliffe: Tributes paid to Sheffield murder victim with no known relatives who "wouldn’t hurt a fly"

Tributes have been shared on social media in memory of Philip McCauliffe, aged 67, who died following a reported assault on Friday (December 15).

He died yesterday (December 17) as a result of a bleed on the brain, days after an incident on Ironside Walk in Gleadless.

Jim Brocklehurst said in a comment on Facebook: "Old school pal of mine. Absolutely great lad, he wouldn’t hurt a fly. RIP mate."

South Yorkshire Police said Philip has no known relatives and so far the force has been unable to identify a next of kin, although others on Facebook believe him to have a sister.

Karen Morris said: "Maybe people could attend the funeral so he isn’t alone on his final journey, RIP."

Natalie Jayne added: "So sad, can’t believe it. He was such a lovely, funny man. You’ll be missed - sleep tight Phil."

Jessica Shoreham Pryor said: "God bless him. Such a harmless bloke, rest in peace Phil."

A murder investigation is underway and three people - two men aged 39 and 35, and a 37-year-old woman - who were arrested on suspicion of murder, have since been bailed.

Jessica Shoreham Pryor said: "God bless him. Such a harmless bloke, rest in peace Phil."
