Police are investigating the sudden death of a man in the same house where a mother and baby died in mysterious circumstances just a year ago.

Joanne Thomas, 27, and her four-month-old daughter, Harper, were found dead in Church Street, Troedyrhiw, in July last year.

An open verdict was recorded at their inquest which ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning and foul play.

Yesterday, police found the body of a 30-year-old man from Merthyr Tydfil in the same house.

A spokesman for South Wales Police said: "South Wales Police is investigating the sudden and unexplained death of a 30-year-old man at an address in Church Street, Troedyrhiw.

"Next of kin and HM Coroner have been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious."
