The cause of death of 16-year-old Taha Ali Soomro, who died at Barry Island in May, remains unclear following a coroner's court hearing. On May 23, South Wales Police responded to reports of Taha in apparent cardiac arrest at Barry Island Pleasure Park. Despite attempts at CPR, paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

During the inquest at Pontypridd coroner's court, it was revealed that a post-mortem examination conducted by Dr Stephen Leadbeater at the University Hospital of Wales could not determine a definitive cause of death. The provisional finding was recorded as unascertained.

Coroner Graeme Hughes stated, "I have heard evidence this morning touching on the death of Taha Ali Soomro. On the information I have heard it's necessary to open an inquest." The inquest has been adjourned, with a future date to be confirmed.

In a heartfelt tribute, Fitzalan High School, where Taha was a student, described him as a "much-loved member" of the school community. The school expressed that Taha would be remembered with "great affection and respect," adding, "This tragic news has deeply affected everyone at the school, and our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Taha’s family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time."

The investigation into the circumstances surrounding Taha's death continues as the community mourns his loss.
