THE death of a man whose body was found in Powys earlier this month is now being treated as “unexplained”, police have confirmed.

Dyfed Powys Police revealed that the body of a man was found on Friday morning, September 11, near Crickhowell.

The force first reported shortly before midday that a section of Glangrwyney Road, in the village of Glangrwyney, was closed due to an “emergency incident”, between Glangrwyney Bridge and Maes-Y-Berllan.

Police confirmed that the body of a male was discovered at approximately 10.45am.

“This matter is now being treated as a non-suspicious and unexplained death – so will now be referred to the coroner,” Dyfed Powys Police said in a statement, released this morning (September 21).

At the time of the body’s discovery, police had said: “Officers are working to establish the circumstances of the incident, as well as the identification of the man. 

“There will be police presence in the area while conducting enquiries, and a road closure is in place between Glangrwyney Bridge and Maes-Y-Berllan farm.

“We would ask members of the public to please avoid the area while this is in place.”
