About 10.50am on Saturday, June 23 emergency services were called to an incident, which was about 20km north of Eden, following reports a cyclist had crashed.
The cyclist suffered serious injuries and was taken to Canberra Hospital in a critical condition, where he died earlier this week.
Officers from South Coast Police District attended and began an investigation.
Police said initial inquiries suggested a 37-year-old man had stopped his Nissan utility to speak with the cyclist before to the crash.
The 37-year-old was taken to Merimbula Police Station where he was later released, pending further inquiries.
Investigators are urging any witnesses or anyone with dashcam vision of the incident to come forward.
Anyone with information in relation to the incident can call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page.
