Investigation launched after man’s body found in Limerick car park

Gardaí in Limerick have launched an investigation following the discovery of the body of a man in his 40s in a city centre car park early on Friday morning.

At about 5am, gardaí and emergency services were alerted to the presence of the man’s body on one of the upper floors of the Steamboat Quay Car Park in Limerick.

The scene was preserved to allow for a forensic and technical examination by the Garda Technical Bureau and late on Friday evening the man’s body was removed from the carpark ahead of a postmortem examination which will be conducted on Saturday.

The outcome of the post mortem will determine the course of the investigation.
