A man has been arrested after Llyr Davies died from an incident involving a tipper truck earlier this year.

Thomas Llyr Davies, 16, lost his life on Tuesday, March 12 at the Gilfach Quarry in the Efailwen area of Clynderwen.

The arrest comes after an inquest was opened into the death of the teenager - coroner’s officer for Pembrokeshire, PC Carrier Sheridan, said police received an emergency telephone call on March 12 at 1.23pm involving a dumper truck.

A spokesperson for Dyfed-Powys Police said: “A man in his sixties has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. He has been released under investigation.”

Wales Air Ambulance was called but Llyr was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr Chris Marsh.

A post-mortem examination was then undertaken by Dr John Williams at Morriston Hospital.

Since Llyr’s death, an investigation has been ongoing by the police.

Following the incident, Mid and West Wales Fire & Rescue Service revealed how crews from Crymych, Whitland, Narberth, Fishguard and Haverfordwest crews were all called to the incident.

The crews responded to a dumper truck located in a shallow river and the casualty was in a separate location to the truck.

Crew members helped paramedics administer CPR to the casualty, yet police confirmed Llyr died at the scene.

Llyr’s family have described him as ‘kind, funny and charming’ and proclaimed their life would never be the same without their loved one.

His death turned their world upside down and explained how Llyr’s ability to light up any room he walked into, is something they would cherish forever.

The teenager’s family also expressed how they felt comfort from Llyr’s story touching the hearts of so many.

Llyr was a keen rugby and football player and sports teams across West Wales paid their respect.

Newcastle Emlyn Rugby Club explained how Llyr was a ‘lovable boy’ and a ‘friend to everyone.’

Cardigan Town Football Club extended their heartfelt condolences to their former player and his family.

Meanwhile, Aberporth Football Club held a one-minute silence for Llyr while describing the teenager as a "lovely, polite and happy young man".

A vigil was held for Llyr on March 22 at Aberporth Beach which saw numerous people attend.

Many posted on Facebook expressing how their summers would never be the same without Llyr with others reiterating the teen’s charismatic nature.
