A postmortem is due to be carried out on a man (66) after his decomposed remains were found at an apartment in Youghal, Co Cork.
The body was discovered at about 2am at Carey’s Wharf in Youghal, when a person went to check on the man.
The area where the discovery was made has been sealed off for a technical examination. There was no sign of a break in or a disturbance at the property.
Gardaí said the postmortem results will determine the course of their investigation. The postmortem is being carried out as a precautionary measure.
