Overview
- Police received reports shortly before 9.15am on Sunday 14 June and officers and paramedics attended the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct where a man was pronounced dead.
- North Wales Police closed the aqueduct site and asked the public to avoid the area while emergency teams worked.
- The deceased's family have been informed and the coroner has been notified as part of standard procedure for an unexplained death.
- Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a 126ft-high canal crossing that draws visitors to the Vale of Llangollen, so the closure may disrupt local tourism and access in the short term.
- No cause of death or identity has been released and authorities say further details may come from the police or the coroner as inquiries continue.
