Police issue update after woman dies in Swansea tanning salon

South Wales Police has shared new information following the tragic death of a woman at a tanning salon in Swansea. Piata Tauwhare left her home in Swansea to visit Lextan salon on Carmarthen Road in Fforestfach on the afternoon of Saturday, May 28 for an 11-minute tanning session.

It's believed the 30-year-old - described as "the most generous person you could ever meet" by her grieving husband - had a cardiac arrest after getting out of a tanning bed at the salon. Her family say she was found dead by her mother-in-law after no-one had heard from her for an hour. Read more on what her family said here.

In an initial statement, officers confirmed they attended the scene and confirmed that the body of a woman had been found there. They said they did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death but confirmed a file had been prepared for the coroner.
