A man and woman have been found dead in a property on a village high street, police said.

South Wales Police said the deaths were being treated as "unexplained".

The force said the bodies were discovered at an address on High Street in Hirwaun, Rhondda Cynon Taf, at about 17:45 GMT on Friday.

The next of kin of the man and woman had been informed, although formal identification had not yet taken place, it added.

"Local residents are thanked for their patience while officers carry out their investigations," the force said.

A cordon has been put in place with additional police officers in the area.
