Skeletal remains of missing man found by walker

The skeletal remains of a man who went missing six years ago were found by a walker in a secluded area in south Wales, an inquest has heard.

Jordan Moray, from Cwmbach, near Aberdare in Rhondda Cynon Taf, was reported missing from his flat with his games console still running and mobile phone on charge in July 2019.

Despite extensive police searches, his remains were not found until 29 August 2025.

On Friday, an inquest at Pontypridd Coroner's Court heard the discovery was made in a remote area near Merthyr Tydfil.

South Wales Police previously said it had received a report of human remains near the Llwyn-on Reservoir in Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, also known as the Brecon Beacons.

A post-mortem examination was carried out, but the cause of death could not be determined.

Assistant Coroner for South Wales Central, Andrew Morse, opened the inquest, which has been adjourned to a later date.

He also offered his condolences to Mr Moray's family.
