A mother is appealing for information after her teenage son died after falling from a quarry in Pontypool. Myron Davies, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene after the incident at Abersychan quarry on July 6. A 14-year-old girl who also fell from the quarry remains in a critical condition in hospital.
In a heartbreaking tribute to her son, Myron's mother Sarah Davies is appealing for information about what happened on the night of his death. An inquest into his death is due to open later this month. In previous tributes posted online, Myron was described as a 'beloved son and brother' with his mother saying "I will always love u and I miss u so much I love u baby boy."
A balloon release is planned for Wednesday, July 13 in Trevethin, Pontypool, to mark a week since the tragedy. The 19th century quarry was once a hub for producing lime for local steel industries. But it was abandoned more than 50 years ago.
