Gardaí have named a man who died in a house fire in Co Wexford last night as Mr James White, a 77-year-old single man.
Mr White died in the fire at his home in Cousinstown in Bridgetown.
The alarm was raised at round 10 p.m. by a relative who lives nearby. Mr White’s body was found lying near an open fireplace. He lived alone.
A Garda spokesman said it appeared to have been a tragic accident and ruled out foul play.
