Gardaí await autopsy on body found in ditch

GARDAÍ were last night waiting the results of a postmortem examination in an effort to establish how a man died.

The body of Tommy King, 50, from Carraroe in Co Galway, was found in a ditch by a jogger yesterday morning near Rossaveal in south Connemara.

Gardaí sealed off the area after it emerged that the deceased man appeared to have suffered head injuries, but garda sources last night indicated that the man may have died of natural causes.
