Mr Magee, from Woodville Street in the town, had only been living there a short time.

Meanwhile, two other bodies were found today in the Colby Avenue area of Derry and near flats at Killaney Avenue, Lisburn, in unrelated circumstances.

Police are treating the Lisburn discovery as suspicious. The body was found by a resident at maisonettes in the Old Warren estate area and the cause of death has not been determined.

The Derry incident is being treated as a death from natural causes.
