Gardaí have concluded an examination of a house near Crookstown in Cork after a 35-year-old man was found unresponsive in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The man’s death was initially described as ‘unexplained’, but it is now understood that foul play is not suspected to be a factor.
A garda spokesperson said: “The results of the examination are not being released for operational reasons. A file will now be prepared for the coroner.”
Gardaí received calls to the scene at the rented house at Farran, on the N22 Cork to Macroom Road, shortly after 3.20am.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. It is believed the man, who was originally from Dunmanway, had head injuries.
The scene was preserved for forensic examination.
The Office of the State Pathologist and the local coroner were notified, with a post-mortem examination taking place later today in Cork University Hospital.
It comes just days after gardaí ruled out foul play following the discovery of the body of Jack O’Donovan, a man in his 20s, at a golf course in Macroom, Co Cork.
Mr O’Donovan, from Dan Corkery Place in the town, was found by a walker at around 9.30am on Friday, October 23, and was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy has been carried out, but the results are also not being released for operational reasons. A file will now be prepared for the coroner.
