His body was transferred this morning to the Mayo University Hospital, where an autopsy performed by Dr. Kathleen Han Suyin, deputy state pathologist, would be carried out.
A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene and is being held at the Castlebar Garda station.
Gardai is now conducting house-to-house investigations and gathering and viewing local CCTV footage as they try to determine the movements of those involved before death occurred.
A senior investigative officer has been appointed and a family liaison officer has also been appointed, Gardai says.
COMMUNITY ‘TRAUMATIZED’
Fianna Fail local councilman Michael Smyth said the local area was in shock.
He told the Irish Sun: “It is very tragic for the families involved. The community has also suffered trauma.
“It is a small residential community and they are traumatized by the event. I have also asked the local authority to support them. “
Police today urged anyone with information to contact them.
