Manitoba RCMP say a man left in critical condition following on assault on Tataskweyak First Nation has died.
The 45-year-old victim had to be air-lifted to Winnipeg from the community, also known as Split Lake, Saturday morning, RCMP said earlier this week.
In a release Friday, investigators said the unidentified man has since died.
A 42-year-old man from Tataskweyak Cree Nation previously charged with aggravated assault is now facing manslaughter charges, RCMP say.

Police haven’t said how the man was assaulted or if any weapons were involved.
Investigators have previously said the victim had been in a fight with another man at a housing complex in the community early Friday morning.
They say the victim returned to his room following the fight, where he was found injured a little over a day later.
