A second pensioner has died of suspected Legionnaires' disease, health officials have confirmed.

A 70-year-old man from South Wales died yesterday following the death of a 64-year-old woman on Monday. Neither case has yet been confirmed as being Legionnaires’ disease.

There are now 14 cases identified as being linked to the outbreak, as health officials continue to investigate the source of the outbreak clustered around South Wales’s Heads of the Valleys road corridor.
