Gardaí are appealing for witnesses relating to the death of a young man in south Dublin city on Sunday morning.
The death is being treated as a tragic accident but investigators are anxious to speak to anyone who was in the Dolphin’s Barn area between 2am and 5am.
The body of the man, who was aged in his 20s, was discovered by the Grand Canal on Sunday afternoon.
He was removed to the Dublin City Mortuary where a postmortem was carried out. The man was found under a bridge on the canal. It is understood he was not a rough sleeper.
