I found this info in the archives of 'The South Wales Argus'.  Shall I send it by private message?

Sure, I'm happy to help.  Newport Reference Library contains some very useful stuff for family historians.

Hi S R                                               
I could not believe it when I saw your entry as my father died in a similar way in the same place spooky or what and your article prompted me to ask my question. Hope to put my father to rest when I get some answers after 35 years of looking and hoping
