Three men whose bodies were found in a shipping container in Berkshire died from carbon monoxide poisoning, initial tests have shown.

The bodies were found at a building site in Manor Farm Road, at Whitley near Reading, on Friday.

All three men, who have not been named, came from south-west London, although their families all live in India.

The deaths are not being treated as suspicious and the Health and Safety Executive will investigate.

Thames Valley Police said one line of inquiry involved a generator found with the men on Friday morning.

A force spokesman said that initial tests had yet to be validated with further toxicology analysis of the bodies.

The Whitley building site is close to the old Thames Water treatment works, home of the new Southside development.

The Housing Corporation awarded almost £3m funding for developers to provide 60 affordable homes at the Reading Gateway/Southside development earlier in the year.
