|November 19, 2025
A PATHOLOGIST was unable to ascertain the cause of death of a 16-year-old boy who died at Barry Island in May, an inquest opening at Pontypridd coroner's court heard.
On May 23, South Wales Police received reports that Taha Ali Soomro was in apparent cardiac arrest at Barry Island Pleasure Park.
Initial reports indicated that he was believed to be having a seizure and cardiac arrest.
The inquest opening heard how CPR was carried out at the pleasure park but paramedics declared Taha dead at the scene.
A postmortem report by Dr Stephen Leadbeater at the University Hospital of Wales gave a provisional cause of death as unascertained.
The opening of the inquest heard how Taha, of Penarth Road in Cardiff, was born in Wigan on December 9, 2008.
Coroner Graeme Hughes said: "I have heard evidence this morning touching on the death of Taha Ali Soomro.
