South Wales Police said Mr Plevey's family have been informed and continue to be supported by the force.

At the time of his death, his family said: "We are saddened to announce the passing of Jeff, a much-loved and treasured member of our family.

"A hard-working man who was always life and soul of any gathering, of which there were many.

"He will be greatly missed by all his family and friends."
