SOUTH Wales Police have confirmed the discovery of a body on a Vale of Glamorgan beach on Tuesday, June 27.

The man's body was found following a police helicopter search near Llantwit Major, shortly after 8.30pm, and was recovered with the assistance of the local coastguard.

The find marks the second such discovery in the area in under a week, after a woman was found dead last Wednesday.

Neither the man, nor the woman's death is being treated as suspicious and HM Coroner has been informed.
