A woman was discovered dead in Illogan, while a man died after falling from a bridge, prompting an investigation into the sad events.
Cornwall: It’s a really heartbreaking situation over there. A woman in her 60s was found dead at a property in Illogan early this morning. Emergency services rushed to the scene around 6:55 AM, but sadly, it was too late.
Not long after, police got a call about a man in his 50s who had fallen from a bridge on the A30. He was also confirmed dead at the scene. It’s just so tragic.
What’s even more upsetting is that these two people knew each other. The police have said they don’t think anyone else was involved, which is a small relief, I guess. They’ve already informed the families, and an investigation is in full swing to figure out what really happened.
Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft described it as an incredibly sad incident. He mentioned that they’re doing everything they can to support the families affected. Officers are working hard to gather all the details, and they’ve set up cordons to keep the areas secure while they investigate.
He reassured the community that this is being treated as an isolated incident, so there’s no need to worry about any ongoing threat. Still, there will be more police around to help anyone who might have concerns.
If anyone has any information, they can reach out to the police online or call 101, mentioning log number 131 of 10/01/25. It’s just a really tough time for everyone involved.
