Gardaí have sealed off an apartment in Ashtown, Dublin, after the body of man was discovered at the property.
Detectives are awaiting the results of a postmortem on the remains.
“The body of the deceased has been removed to the Dublin City Morgue where a postmortem examination will be conducted by the State Pathologist,” Garda Headquarters in Dublin’s Phoenix Park said.
The dead man, who was in his 40s, was found on Tuesday afternoon, and his death is being treated as “unexplained” pending the postmortem results, which should indicate whether he met with foul play.
