A man found dead near a North Wales pier has been named. Alex Carter Daley, 22, was discovered last Sunday, September 17.[1]

An inquest into his death was opened in Caernarfon[2] today. Sarah Riley, assistant coroner for north west Wales, confirmed at the hearing that Mr Daley, of Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire, was found near Garth Pier in Bangor[3].
