Bodies of two men found in same Slough park

Police said post-mortem examinations on both men were due to be carried out in the next few days

The bodies of two men have been discovered in parkland in Slough.

Thames Valley Police said the body of a man, 65, was found in Baylis Park, off Stoke Poges Lane at about 16:40 BST on Saturday.

The body of another man, thought to have been in his 40s, was found by another member of the public nearby just after 08:00 on Sunday.

The force said both deaths were "sudden and unexplained" and are working to establish if they are connected.

Police said post-mortem examinations on both men were due to be carried out in the next few days.

Det Ch Insp Andy Howard said: "It may be that the deaths, while tragic, are not deemed to be suspicious.

"However, the fact that two bodies have been found in close proximity to each other, in a short period of time, means that we need to establish the exact circumstances.

"While these incidents will no doubt cause concern to people in and around Slough, I'd like to reassure people that we are conducting a full and thorough investigation."

He said a large cordon had been placed around Baylis Park which was expected "to remain during the coming days".

Det Ch Insp Howard added: "I would like to reiterate at this stage that these deaths are being treated as sudden and unexplained.

"There is a great deal of work to do to find out exactly what has happened and whether there is any link at all between these deaths."
