A 62-year-old woman was pronounced dead after two people were found unconscious in a house in Ystrad Mynach.

A 63-year-old man was taken to Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil after the pair suffered suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.

Police were called to the property on Davies Street at around 8am this morning, November 4.

A 63-year-old-woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

The man is now in a stable condition in hospital.
