That is all from us this evening. There is a first look at the

:00:00.:00:15.

An 88-year-old woman who died after being found with unexplained

:00:16.:00:21.

injuries in a Cynon Valley hospital has been described

:00:22.:00:25.

Tegwen Roderick's death is being investigated by police.

:00:26.:00:30.

Four members of staff at Ysbyty Cwm Cynon in Mountain Ash

:00:31.:00:34.

Tegwen Roderick had lived in Abercanaid all her life. A

:00:35.:00:49.

well-known member of the community, she lived on the street with her

:00:50.:00:53.

husband John and was well liked by her neighbours. Today the family

:00:54.:00:58.

were in mourning. A week ago she was found with serious and unexplained

:00:59.:01:04.

injuries at Ysbyty Cwm Cynon. She was transferred to Prince Charles

:01:05.:01:10.

Jos Buttler but she yesterday died. Now an investigation has been

:01:11.:01:16.

launched into her death. Jasper -- Prince Charles Hospital. A beautiful

:01:17.:01:27.

lady. Very gentle, lovely lady. Unfortunately she did not have any

:01:28.:01:32.

children but they were a devoted couple. And that was a view shared

:01:33.:01:37.

by many who lived in this village. I spent the day speaking to people who

:01:38.:01:41.

knew Tegwen Roderick. They said she had lived her whole life here and

:01:42.:01:45.

was a teacher right up to her retirement. She had been suffering

:01:46.:01:49.

from ill health recently but they were still shocked to hear the news

:01:50.:01:53.

that her death has resulted in a police investigation. Police have

:01:54.:01:56.

said at this stage there is no confirmed link between the injuries

:01:57.:02:00.

and the death but four people are helping them with their enquiries.

:02:01.:02:04.

As a precaution, ten members of staff were initially suspended but

:02:05.:02:09.

six have now been lifted. In a statement, Cwm Taf Health Board said

it takes the care and safety of its patients extremely safety. As soon

:02:13.:02:18.

as staff identified that there was a problem with the patient concerned,

:02:19.:02:21.

they acted quickly and appropriately. The investigation is

:02:22.:02:27.

ongoing and I have reassured me that they feel no other patient is at

:02:28.:02:31.

risk but we need to find out what happened. We need to do justice to

:02:32.:02:36.

this investigation. When charity is concerned about the knock-on effect

:02:37.:02:39.

this will have on the perception of elderly care in our hospitals.

:02:40.:02:44.

People make it about the quality of care overall or the services they

:02:45.:02:51.

may receive. The vast majority of what we hear are very good

:02:52.:02:55.

experiences at hospitals, good experiences of the way people are

:02:56.:02:58.

treated by staff. But with failings do occur, it is vital that they are

:02:59.:03:05.

investigated. The police and health boards say they are continuing to

:03:06.:03:08.

together to work out what caused the death of this well-respected

:03:09.:03:09.

made their way up this road, the Jeep ramming the victim's R. Two

:05:43.:05:47.

to the verdict, the Crown Prosecution Service said these four
