No foul play as man found in stream

GARDAÍ in Cork ruled out foul play last night following the discovery of an elderly man’s body in a stream.

The body was discovered floating face-down in the shallow Ballybrack stream, which flows alongside Douglas Community Park, off Church Street in the heart of Douglas Village, at 8.15am yesterday by a builder working on a nearby site.

Gardaí were still trying to contact the dead man’s family last night before releasing his name.
