Body found in west Cork

Gardai in west Cork are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a man whose body was found in suspicious circumstances at a house at Coole Mountain near Dunmanway.

Garda crime examiners are at the scene and the body has been removed to Cork University Hospital. It’s understood the 59-year-old man who lived alone hadn’t been seen for a number of days. Last night, members of his family and a neighbour broke down the door of his house and found the dead man’s body.
