More tests needed to find out how Swindon man died

Wiltshire police say they need to carry out further tests to find out how a man whose body was found at a waste facility in Avonmouth last week died. Initial post mortem examinations have been carried out on 34 year old Matthew Symonds from Swindon. Police say they now know that Mr Symonds body was transported with commercial recycling waste from a site in Swindon to the centre in Avonmouth.

“The team have carried out a large amount of enquiries over the weekend and so far there is no indication that Mr Symonds was assaulted. The investigation is ongoing and we continue to keep an open mind about the circumstances of his death.”
