At 8:15am on Sunday, October 2, the body of another man was found in close proximity to the location in Baylis Park.

Senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Howard, of the Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit said: “We are working to find out what links the deaths of these two men.

“It may be that the deaths, while tragic, are not deemed to be suspicious. However, the fact that two bodies have been found in close proximity to each other, in a short period of time, means that we need to establish the exact circumstances.

“While these incidents will no doubt cause concern to people in and around Slough, I’d like to reassure people that we are conducting a full and thorough investigation.

A large scene watch is being placed throughout Baylis Park and will remain in place during the coming days.
