A man has died after a fall linked to the discovery of a woman’s body in Cornwall
Illogan: It’s a tough situation unfolding in Cornwall. A woman in her 60s was found dead at her home early this morning. Emergency services rushed to the scene, but sadly, she was pronounced dead shortly after they arrived.
Then, not long after, police got a call about a man in his 50s who was in distress. He ended up falling from a bridge on the A30 and was also pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities think these two deaths might be connected.
Devon and Cornwall Police confirmed that the two individuals knew each other. They don’t believe anyone else was involved, which is a relief. The families of both have been notified, and the investigation is still ongoing to figure out what really happened.
Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft expressed how tragic this whole situation is. He mentioned that they’re doing everything possible to support the families affected. Officers are working hard to gather all the details and have set up cordons to investigate the scenes thoroughly.
He reassured the community that this is being treated as an isolated incident. They’re not looking for any other suspects at this time. There will be more police around to keep everyone safe, and they encourage anyone with concerns to reach out to local officers.
If anyone has information, they can contact the police online or call 101, mentioning log number 131 of 10/01/25. It’s a tough time for everyone involved.
