A hearing is due to be held into the death of a TA soldier from Bath who died on one of the hottest days of the year.
Update on pre-hearing for SAS training soldiers who died
Police investigating the deaths of three soldiers, including one from Bath, who died during an SAS selection programme in the Brecon Beacons say they have not yet interviewed everyone they would like to.
Army reservists Edward John Maher, 31, Craig John Roberts, 24, and 31-year-old James Dunsby (from Bath) died while taking part in a gruelling SAS selection exercise on one of the hottest days of the year. A number of other soldiers also collapsed and needed medical attention.
It is thought the group were carrying out an exercise known as the "Fan Dance", which involves marching up 886-metre high Pen Y Fan mountain and down the other side carrying a weighted pack and rifle, then doing the route in reverse, in a set time.
