Garda investigation after body of man in his 60s found in Limerick city home

Gardaí found the body of a man in his 60s at a residence on Old Cratloe Road, Limerick city, on the morning of Saturday 7 October 2023, at about 8.30am. Gardaí based at Mayorstone Park are investigating the circumstances of the discovery, and the scene was preserved for forensic and technical examination by the Garda Technical Bureau. The body was removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick, and a post-mortem examination is to be carried out. The Irish Independent reported it is believed the man lay undiscovered inside the property for a considerable period. The man has not been named, no cause of death has been reported, and no arrest or charge has been reported, so the latest development is the planned post-mortem.
