Spanish police inquiry after body of man from south Wales found

The body of a man thought to be from Newport in south Wales has been found in water near his yacht off the Costa del Sol, say Spanish police. The man, who has been named locally as Denis Manley and thought to be in his 70s, was found on Wednesday afternoon. He was spotted in the marina at Estepona at the western end of the southern Spanish coast, near Gibraltar. The man, who had a head injury, is believed to have been staying on the boat. Police think it was an accident. Officers think he probably slipped on board the vessel, hit his head, and then fell into the water. "All indications point to an accident," said an officer of the paramilitary Civil Guard.
