The 42 year-old victim was unconscious when taken to Tweed Heads Hospital.
He was then transferred to Gold Coast Hospital with serious head injuries, but died early yesterday.
The 36-year-old appeared in court this morning where his initial charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and causing grevious bodily harm to a person with intent were upgraded to murder.
