A convicted paedophile who was due to be sentenced for sex offences against children has been found dead in the River Taff in Cardiff.
The body of Raymond Croft, 58, from Port Talbot, was found after he missed his sentencing in Swansea last week.
He had previously been found guilty of sexual assault, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and attempted sexual activity with a child.
Police said there are no suspicious circumstances around his death.
Croft was due to appear at Swansea Crown Court last week to be sentenced for sex offences against children, but did not attend.
Judge John Diehl QC had issued a warrant for his arrest last Friday.
The same day, his body was found in the River Taff, near Sophia Gardens.
Croft had been granted bail five weeks ago while reports were compiled ahead of sentencing.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that the body of a man found in the River Taff has been identified as that of Raymond Croft.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and the coroner has been informed."
""There are no suspicious circumstances and the coroner has been informed." "
-Interesting.
Police find body, then 'inform' coroner, nothing suspicious. Probably a heart attack or something like that.
Yet, I can easily see 'social justice' being done to him. For, I would think about that one as well.
In the same area 1200 years ago he would have been taken to a bog where his skull would be crushed and his body thrown in the bog.... about the same result.
Take me to the water, drop me in the river
Push me in the water, drop me in the river
Washing me down, washing me down
Hopefully this isn't a case of suicide.
The pig took the coward's way out..........
"missed his sentencing"
Maybe not ...
Saves them the trouble of housing, feeding, educating and training this lowlife for the rest of his life.
I heard the poor soul was really Rosie O'Donnell incognito.
The punchline is "...a good start", right?

He found the cure.
Maybe he accidentally tied a concrete block around his neck before jumping into the river.
"Gee, go out and have one last fling before we put you away!!!"
if he was murdered or if it was suicide. i don´t care. i think the world is better off without him.
"He fell"
LOL Brings real meaning to the phrase, "Move along now, nothing to see here."
Well, case closed, then! Justice 1, child molester 0. First round's on me, lads!
Just like a pedophile to sreal a millstone and try to swim across the river with it!
