Police in Cardiff are investigating the death of a 47-year-old man, which occurred at approximately 11.00pm last night (Monday 17th February) at Heol Pant Y Deri, Ely.
Two men, aged 49 and 42 years have been arrested and are in custody at Cardiff Bay police Station.
Detective Inspector Mark Lewis, from South Wales Police, said:
“We are currently working to establish how the man died and although at the moment the circumstances are unclear, we believe the death to be drug related.
“Understandably people will be concerned but I would like to reassure the local community that we continue with our daily enforcement on the streets of Cardiff, and work closely with the harm reduction agencies to encourage individuals to stop consuming drugs, particularly heroin.”
