Youth's body taken from River Lee

The body of an 18-year-old youth has been recovered from the River Lee in Cork.

The body was spotted floating in the water this morning by a staff member at the nearby courthouse. It was taken from the river shortly before 11am.

Gardai are withholding the dead man’s name until all next of kin are informed.

It is unclear if the teenager was a Leaving Cert student out celebrating his results last night.
