Kevin Tripp, 57, was fatally injured following an attack inside the Colliers Wood Sainsbury's on Tuesday night.

Mr Tripp was shopping on Tuesday evening at a Sainsbury's store in Merton when an argument broke out.

Mr Tripp, who lived with his partner Josephine, a secretary, and his five-year-old daughter in Boundary Road, Merton, was punched and fell heavily.

Shoppers and store staff saw the engineer hit his head and begin bleeding.

He was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting but died on Thursday evening.

Catriona Courtier is one of many people he helped by writing for a newsletter for the self-help group for people with ME in west London.

She said: "Kevin was a highly intelligent man and a real fighter, which may seem like a strange thing to say about someone who was so ill," said Catriona, whose daughter also has ME. "But he had such a strong spirit in a weak body which let him fight for people with ME and bring them hope.
