David Grout had returned from Afghanistan only seven hours before he was attacked
Signalman David Grout suffered severe head injuries in an incident outside Eston Institute working men's club in Eston, Middlesbrough, last Tuesday.
Cleveland Police confirmed that the 22-year-old died in Middlesbrough's James Cook University Hospital at lunchtime today.
Signalman Grout, who joined the Army straight from school, leaves wife Kerry and 20-month-old son Harley.
He had returned from fighting in Afghanistan only seven hours before he was attacked.
He made it through a warzone unscathed to come back and be put in hospital by scumbags.

He was out with his mother and step-father in Eston, and had gone outside the Institute for a cigarette at around 6.30pm when two men confronted him.
Witnesses said that after a brief conversation, one threw a punch at the soldier, who fell to the ground and suffered serious head injuries.

Catterick Garrison
As a member of the 204 Squadron of the Royal Signals, based at Catterick Garrison in North Yorkshire, he had spent the previous two months in Helmand Province before returning home for a short break.
On David's Facebook profile, he had written: "Love my wife and son so very much I can't wait to come home and hold you both so close. Missing you loads. Don't worry Harley daddy will be home soon."
After the attack the soldier's family told how they and David had been grieving the loss of his grandmother Margaret Grout, who died three weeks ago, aged 74.
A family member said: "When he was at home, he just wanted to spend time with his family and have a rest from work.

David Grout was punched
"I know he had been worried about going back to Afghanistan, but his gran told him it would be all right and off he went.
"Sadly, just four weeks ago, his Gran passed away and he missed her funeral. He was devastated to be away when she died.
"He'd only been back in the country for a few hours when this happened. He made it through a war zone unscathed to come back and be put in hospital by scumbags.
"If they think they are big men, they should get over to Afghanistan and see what real men are like. David is the brave one - not them - he's the one fighting for his country."
A 19-year-old arrested in connection with the incident has been released on police bail, pending further inquiries.
