GARDAÍ ARE awaiting the results of a postmortem examination this morning on a man found dead at the weekend before they can determine if foul play was involved.
The dead man, aged 50 years, was found in a house in Bray, Co Wicklow, on Saturday afternoon. He did no appear to have any obvious visible injuries.
The discovery of his remains was made at 4.30pm at the house on Goldsmith Terrace. Gardaí were alerted and the scene was immediately sealed off.
The Assistant State Pathologist Dr Michael Curtis attended the scene and examined the remains before the body was removed.
The remains were taken to Loughlinstown Hospital, south Dublin, where a postmortem is due this morning. Garda sources said they are keeping an open mind until the results are known.
It is believed the dead man may have had a heart condition that he was taking medication for, but it is not known if this was related to his death.
