The man collapsed shortly after police arrived at Wyndham Crescent in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, at about 13:00 BST on Sunday. He was later pronounced dead.
A murder investigation has begun but no arrests have been made and officers are appealing for information.
Thames Valley Police said details about what happened were "at this stage, fairly limited".
Det Ch Insp Stuart Blaik said it was in "the very early stages of this investigation" and "working to establish the circumstances".
"If you were in the area at the time and witnessed this altercation, or if you have any other details which you think could be useful to us, please get in touch," he said.
"I appreciate that this incident could cause a great deal of concern in the community, but I would like to take this opportunity to reassure people that firstly we have launched a thorough investigation to identify those responsible, and secondly that we do not believe there is any threat to the wider public."
He added there would be an increased police presence in the area while the investigation continued.
