Former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable has been found dead at his home in south Wales.

Emergency services attended Mr Cable's house at Llwydcoed near Aberdare, Cynon Valley, at 0500 BST on Monday.

South Wales Police said the cause of death had not been established but there were no suspicious circumstances at this stage.

Mr Cable, who left the Stereophonics in 2003, had hosted his rock show on BBC Radio Wales on Saturday.

South Wales Police confirmed they were investigating the sudden death of a 40-year-old man at an address in Llwydcoed.

Mr Cable's former band Stereophonics played at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday.

He later formed a new group called Killing for Company, who were due to play at Donington Park on Saturday.

The band's new album is due for release shortly.

Mr Cable's autobiography, Demons and Cocktails, was released in 2009.

The autobiography shed light on tensions between Mr Cable and Stereophonics vocalist Kelly Jones which eventually led to the drummer's departure.

Mr Cable revealed the split was mainly sparked off by the Mr Jones' desire to produce the band's third album.
