Tribute from family of Nicola Wheatley

“We are devastated by our loss. Nicola was a loving mother, daughter, daughter-in-law and wife.   

Nicola was a beautiful, caring, considerate and funny person. She was amazing in every way.

She has left a void in our lives that will never be filled.  

We would now like time to grieve and would ask to be given privacy in which to do so.” 

Tribute from colleagues of Nicola Wheatley

“Nikki began her employment with Cardiff And Vale UHB in July 2006 as a Specialist in Poisons Information with the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS), Cardiff, having begun her toxicology career with Guys and St Thomas’s, London.  

A highly experienced member of the 24/7 telephone enquiry team, Nikki provided advice to healthcare professionals managing poisoned patients. She will be remembered for her calm, friendly and totally professional manner – even when faced with the most difficult of cases.  

Nikki was an enthusiastic, dedicated and an incredibly capable colleague. She was our ‘go to’ person for organising projects and campaigns. Recently, she successfully oversaw a complex and challenging project developing safety sheets for our pharmacy colleagues at the St Mary’s unit. Nikki is also remembered as a gifted and dedicated scientist, who made significant contributions to the field of toxicology and presented her work at an international level.  

Through her lovely personality, Nikki made many friends during her time in public service and will be sorely missed by her friends and colleagues at the NPIS. Nikki leaves her young family, husband and extended family. Our thoughts are with them at this terrible time.”

Tribute from family of Paul O’Dwyer

"It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Paul O'Dwyer aged 42, who gave his life to save others. 

He was a devoted husband, father, son and brother. He devoted his life to contributing to society in his many adventures in raising money for different causes.

Paul was a water baby. His passion for the water started with Aberavon lifeguards from an early age.

His sporting prowess extended to many different sports. He was an army surfing champion, British Army 7 aside rugby team member, Aberavon Green stars rugby player, ski instructor and completed multiple times in British and Welsh 3 peak events.

His tick list also included the London Marathon, running a 100 mile race, numerous triathlons including Ironman Wales and recently Stand Up Paddle boarding 100 miles in 21 hours to raise money for heart screening in Port Talbot. Paul also helped to set up a charity Sa1ute to support veterans.

We as a family are truly thankful for the kind messages sent to us in our time of great sadness.”

 


 

A woman remains in a critical condition in hospital.

Police are continuing with their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident, and our thoughts remain with the families of those involved.

Anyone who may have information that could assist the investigation is asked to get in touch through the dedicated public portal.
