Two men found dead in Slough
Both were discovered in the same park, hours apart
Two men have been found dead in Baylis Park in Slough.
Police were called at about 4.40pm Saturday (1 October) by a member of the public, who had discovered the body of a 65-year-old man.
The death was not considered suspicious and the man’s next of kin were informed.
Yesterday (2 October), at around 8.15am, a second body - believed to be that of a man in his 40s - was found, near to the original discovery.
Officers are working to establish any connection between the deaths, with post mortems due to take place in the coming days.
Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Howard, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit said:
“We are working to find out what links the deaths of these two men. 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.
“Because of this, a large scene watch is in place around Baylis Park, and we expect this to remain during the coming days.
“I would like to reiterate that 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.
“If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to approach officers at the scene. They will do their best to answer any queries you may have.
“If you have any information about either of the incidents that you think could help us, please call 101, quoting reference number INC-20221002-0508.”
