The body of a man in his 60s, that has been found at a house in Wexford town, is thought to have lain undiscovered for some time.<\/p>\n
The body was removed from the property in the Belvedere Grove housing estate in the Townparks area this afternoon.<\/p>\n
A call was made by a concerned neighbour to garda\u00ed at around 1.40pm requesting them to carry out a welfare check at the man’s house.<\/p>\n
Garda\u00ed along with members of the National Ambulance Service and Wexford County Fire Service attended the scene.<\/p>\n
A forensic examination was carried out at the property before the man\u2019s remains were taken to University Hospital Waterford for a post-mortem examination.<\/p>\n
Sources have said that the man\u2019s remains may have lain undiscovered for quite some time.<\/p>\n
However, it is understood that foul play is not currently suspected.<\/p>\n
In a statement, a Garda spokesperson said garda\u00ed are investigating all of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the man\u2019s body.<\/p>\n
They said the results of the post-mortem examination will determine the course of the garda investigation.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson added that the local coroner has been notified and investigations remain ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The body of a man in his 60s, that has been found at a house in Wexford town,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[61,60,43],"class_list":["post-400549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ireland","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
