Police launch investigation as Limerick man found dead in France

French Police are today investigating the death of a Limerick man near Paris.

The body of the 20-year-old from Rathkeale in Co Limerick was found in a river about 20 miles outside the French capital yesterday.

The father-of-one had been working in the country with a Limerick tarmacadam company, before going missing last weekend.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has offered consular assistance to the man's family who have travelled to France.
