Man found dead in Cork house 'may have fallen from upstairs window'

Gardaí investigating the death of a man in Co Cork are examining whether he may have fallen from an upstairs window.

The man's body was found outside the Manor Mills complex in Rathcormac this morning.

Gardaí hope that a post mortem will establish the exact cause of death.

Detectives are taking witness statements from other occupants in the apartment bloc to establish when the man was last seen alive.
