A Territorial Army soldier who died following an SAS training exercise in the Brecon Beacons suffered multiple organ failure, an inquest has heard.

Corporal James Dunsby died in hospital 17 days after collapsing on South Wales's highest mountain, Pen Y Fan, on one of the hottest days of the year.

At the opening of Cpl Dunsby's inquest, Aberdare Coroner's Court was told that the 31-year-old was one of six soldiers who collapsed on 13 July.
