The body of a man was found in the cemetery next to Hunnyhill School. The area has been cordoned off whilst police investigate.
Police have confirmed:
We were called at 6.18am this morning (Sept 20) following the discovery of a 26-year-old man’s body in woodland near Forest Road in Newport.
The man’s next of kin have since been informed.
We are not treating the death as suspicious. A file is being prepared for the coroner.
Our thoughts are with the man’s family and friends at this tragic time.
