Geraint Llyr Jones who had PTSD had been due to be sentenced for his part in a disturbance at the Pen Cob

Ex-soldier Geraint Llyr Jones, 32, was found dead in Pwllheli

“This is an absolutely classic case of a soldier leaving the army with PTSD and receiving no support or training whatsoever on his discharge.

An ex-soldier who was tasered by police in a pub fracas has died, days before a court appearance.

The death of Geraint Llyr Jones, 32, who was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, is not being treated as suspicious.

Mr Jones, who had served with the Royal Welch Fusiliers in Iraq died at an address on Upper Ala Road in Pwllheli on Sunday.

The 32-year-old, originally from Nefyn, had pleaded guilty to charges of obstructing a police officer, common assault and criminal damage at JD Wetherspoon-run Pen Cob in June this year.

During the incident, police officers had to use a taser gun on Mr Jones so he could be apprehended.
