BBC editor Aled Glynne Davies fell into the river and lost his life while relieving himself by the riverside at night.

The tragic death of 65-year-old former BBC editor Aled Glynne Davies has been clarified in an investigation that took place in Wales. Davies had gone for a walk along the banks of the River Taff in Cardiff after having dinner with his wife on New Year's Eve and had not returned.

According to the investigation results, Davies fell into the water while urinating by the river and faced a condition known as "dry drowning." This condition can lead to sudden death by causing a heart attack before the lungs fill with water.

Following Davies's disappearance, a large search operation involving more than 400 people was launched, and his lifeless body was found in the river four days later. His wife, Afryl, stated that her husband was not depressed and was afraid of water, expressing that she believed the incident was an accident.

This tragic event highlights the potential dangers of alcohol consumption and wandering alone late at night. It also emphasizes the importance of safety measures near water bodies.

Davies's family is focused on celebrating his life and keeping his memory alive. This incident serves as a reminder of the value of the time we spend with our loved ones and how fragile life can be.
