After two homes were destroyed by a rumored gas explosion, a guy who was found deceased has been identified.
After being murdered in the explosion at Morrison in Swansea yesterday morning, Brian Davies, 68, has been named.
The following is a list of the most common questions we get from people who utilize our services.
Mr. Davies, who moved into the neighbourhood more than two years ago and was regarded as “lovely and conversational,” received tributes.
Later today, formal identification is anticipated to take place.
Sioned Williams, Member of the Senedd for the South Wales West region, said the man had been described locally as ‘very well liked’ and ‘such a friendly person’.
She said: ‘He apparently used to sit outside on the step and talk to people in the street. A lot of people knew him and liked him.’
Police said another adult – believed to have been injured in the street – had also been released from hospital. It is understood he was a postman hit by debris while in his van outside.
Claire Griffiths, 49, and her son Ethan, 14, were treated in hospital for injuries and shock after the tragedy when two houses were rocked by a huge explosion killing their neighbour.
Her partner Anthony Bennett returned to the family home today after visiting the pair in hospital with their injuries.
Anthony said schoolboy Ethan was very shaken up but ‘alive’ after the massive explosion in Wales.
He said: ‘Ethan just remembers the explosion going and him being thrown up against the ceiling and hitting it.
‘Next thing he knows he seems to be outside. Not sure if he lost consciousness or not. Part of the roof was under him and part of the roof was on top of him.
‘The guy who lives a couple of doors down ran across to check on Claire and then he dragged Ethan out.
‘He carried Ethan off the roof to get him out. Ethan was discharged from hospital but Claire was still being treated for six broken ribs and a ‘nasty gash’ to her head.
He said: ‘My wife is OK, in a lot of pain, but she is OK. Ethan was discharged last night. He is very shook up and mentally he is struggling to cope, but he is alive.’
An investigation is underway to establish the cause of the incident. The Health and Safety Executive has been informed.
