UPDATE 2PM:

Police have confirmed the death of 21 year old Coast man Jayden Mason, found with serious head injuries in Lake Haven on Saturday night, is being treated as a homicide investigation.

Acting Superintendent David Waddell addressed the media outside Wyong police station this afternoon, saying they're reviewing CCTV footage, have seized several cars and have spoken to a number of people.

The exact circumstances surrounding the incident, and cause of Mr Mason's injuries, remain unknown, a post mortem on Wednesday is expected to shed more light on these.

"There were a number of altercations, I believe, that evening, and the exact nature of those and how was involved are still under investigation," Supt Waddell said, responding to speculation the deceased had been ejected from a nearby licensed premises just before being injured.

Tuggerah Lakes police are still looking for witnesses, who can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 4356 6099.

UPDATE 7AM: TUGGERAH LAKES POLICE are continuing to investigate the MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES surrounding the death of a 21-year-old man who was found BADLY INJURED and UNCONSCIOUS near the LEAGUES CLUB in LAKE HAVEN.
