The man who died in a suspected gas explosion in Swansea has been named by police.
Brian Davies, aged 68, was killed following the blast at a property on Clydach Road, Morriston, on Monday morning.
Formal identification took place this afternoon and his family are being supported by specially trained officers, South Wales Police said.
The incident happened around 11.20am yesterday.
Detective Inspector Carl Price said: “Our thoughts remain with Brian’s family and friends, at what is a very difficult time for them, and those who have been injured following the explosion.

“Our enquiries are ongoing to establish the cause of the incident, and these enquiries are being carried out in partnership with relevant agencies including the Health and Safety Executive.
“The patience and understanding of local residents on Clydach Road, and the wider community in Morriston, is very much appreciated while this work remains ongoing.”
Sioned Williams, Member of the Senedd for the South Wales West region, said the man had been described locally as "very well liked" and "such a friendly person".
She said: "He apparently used to sit outside on the step and talk to people in the street.
"A lot of people knew him and liked him, and are deeply, deeply concerned for him."
Andy Williams, who has lived on the street for 25 years, said: "He's only lived here for a couple of years but I knew him well.
"He's just a nice guy, a lovely guy, he's always outside chatting."
Mum and son Claire and Ethan were among the three people taken to hospital after being pulled from the rubble alive.
The third was reportedly a postman.
Anthony Bennett, who returned to the scene of the blast today, said his 14-year-old son Ethan has already been discharged from hospital but wife Claire is still receiving treatment.
Claire suffered six broken ribs and a "nasty gash" to her head, according to Anthony.
Carolyn Harris, Labour MP for Swansea East, said the postman was sitting in his van when the blast happened and "unfortunately he got caught by some debris".
She added that the local sorting office said the postman had suffered burns and cuts to his face but is now home with his family.
