Police in Wales have arrested a woman on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter following a paddleboarding incident a week ago that has now claimed a fourth death. The suspect, who police said was from south Wales, has been released under investigation. The arrest came as police confirmed the death of Andrea Powell, 41, from Bridgend, who was taken to hospital after the incident. Morgan Rogers, 24, from Cefn Coed, Merthyr Tydfil, Nicola Wheatley, 40, from Pontarddulais, Swansea, and Paul O’Dwyer, 42, from Sandfields, Port Talbot, also died. A further five people who were pulled out of the River Cleddau in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, by emergency services were not injured. The group of nine were part of the South Wales Paddle Boarders and Salty Dog Co, an organisation based in Port Talbot that made a trip last Saturday to explore the river. One of those on the trip, Vickie McKinven, from Milford Haven, said O’Dwyer, a former soldier and father of three, died attempting to rescue two fellow paddleboarders who had got into difficulty near the weir. On Saturday morning, hundreds of people gathered in Port Talbot in memory of O’Dwyer. During the event, surfers from Aberavon surf club, many of who were his close friends, took to the water despite the choppy sea. Lee West, a business partner and best friend of 22 years, paid tribute to O’Dwyer, who was a former director of the Copr Bar in Swansea and a co-founder of veterans’ charity Sa1ute. He told Wales Online: “He was great fun. He’d be like your corny uncle in the corner, with his corny jokes. He was just a genuine, lovely, lovely man.” Dyfed-Powys police said: “Following the incident on Cleddau River, Haverfordwest on Saturday 30/10, a woman from the south Wales area has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter as part of the investigation. “She has been released under investigation.” “Sadly, we can also confirm that 41-year-old Andrea Powell from the Bridgend area, who was in hospital following the incident, has now died. “Our thoughts are with her family, and all those involved in this tragic incident.” The family of Rogers, a deputy supermarket store manager, paid tribute to her, calling her “a beautiful, kind and loving soul”. Wheatley, who worked as a specialist with the National Poisons Information Service, was described by her family as a “loving mother, daughter, daughter-in-law and wife”.
