A witness has described the valiant efforts of emergency services to revive a man as he lay lifeless and bleeding after falling down the stairs of a Dunedin bar at the weekend. The 68-year-old died early on Saturday morning following what was believed to have been a fall down the stairway entrance to Carousel lounge bar in lower Stuart St. Emergency services were called shortly before 4am but the man died at the scene. Bar owner John Devereux said he believed the man had fallen down the stairs at the entrance to the bar. He went back up the stairs to meet his friends before police officers announced the bar was in lockdown, to prevent witnesses leaving and traversing a possible crime scene via the stairs.
