A man has appeared in court charged with manslaughter after a man died following an altercation outside a nightclub in Lancaster last year.
Sean Orrell appeared at Preston Magistrates earlier today.
Magistrates said the matter could only be dealt with at crown level, and the 32-year-old, from Wigan Road in Leigh, was bailed pending a plea hearing at Preston Crown Court on May 18.
Police were called at shortly before 4.30am on Sunday June 12, 2022 to a report that a man had been punched during an altercation outside the former Glow nightclub, Dalton Square, causing him to fall and hit his head on the ground.
The man, Joshua Hughes, 22, who was part of a group who had been inside the club earlier but had been ejected, was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
Despite the best efforts of medical professionals, Mr Hughes, of Morecambe, died on the morning of June 16.
