Tributes have been paid to a prominent west country agent who has died suddenly at the age of 42.
Ben Salter, a regional director for Miller & Son, died after a heart attack at his home in Truro. His company described him as inspirational.

Time and distance meant nothing. You were always my best mate.
God bless Salts
Extremely sad news at such an incredibly young age. Condolences to all from the team at Northwood who lost our MD and friend Nick Cooper, only last year. We know how difficult a time it is.
He'll be sadly missed. From everyone here at Reapit who had the pleasure of working with him and thoughts are with his friends and family.
Condolences to Mr Salter's family and friends.
