A man has died after being shot with a Taser by police in Wales.

The police watchdog said officers from the Dyfed Powys force were called to an incident Llanelli in South Wales.

In a statement, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) said: "Officers attended and, during engagement with the man, it is understood a Taser was discharged.

"The man became unresponsive and was subsequently pronounced dead. The IPCC has begun an independent investigation."

Officers were called by a member of the public who had become concerned about the welfare of the man who appeared to be injured, the IPCC added.
