Gardaí rule out foul play after body found at recycling depot

GARDAÍ have ruled out foul play in their investigation into the discovery of a man’s body at a waste sorting site near Listowel in Co Kerry on Friday.

The death of 32-year-old father-of-one Declan Power of Bunmahon, Co Waterford, is being treated as a tragic accident, a Garda spokesman said.

Preliminary results from a postmortem examination carried out by assistant state pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster at Kerry General Hospital on Saturday indicated the man received his injuries in the back of a refuse truck.
