Edward James Kelly, 30, appeared at the Belfast Magistrates' Court to be charged with the manslaughter of David Conville.
The 34-year-old victim sustained injuries during a suspected serious assault in the Abingdon Drive area last Friday, according to police.
Kelly, of Felt Street in the city, was initially accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Mr Conville.
But the charge was changed to manslaughter after the victim died in hospital.
During a brief hearing the defendant was connected to the alleged offence, but no further details about the circumstances were disclosed.
Kelly did not seek bail at this stage, and was remanded in custody to appear again by video-link next month.
Police have issued another appeal to anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward or contact them on the non emergency number.
