Gardaí investigating the death of a man in his fifties, whose body was found in a Cork city property yesterday, have ruled out foul play.
The alarm was raised at 4pm on Tuesday, August 5th, by a man who was passing by at Lower Barrack View, off Cathedral Walk, and spotted the body inside a window of a terraced house. Gardaí attended the scene and discovered the man’s body inside.
The Office of the State Pathologist was notified and the scene was preserved for a full technical examination. There was no evidence of forced entry at the property.
A postmortem examination was carried out today at Cork University Hospital. The death is not being treated as suspicious.
