Today an autopsy is being carried out at CUH and after that, Gardai will decide in which direction the investigation goes.

Reuben was found shortly after 4 p.m. Friday after his family became concerned that they had not heard from him for a few days.

He was pronounced dead at the scene before being taken to the hospital for an autopsy.

The house was sealed when Gardai launched an investigation.

A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí is investigating all the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a man’s body in Bishopstown, Cork, on Friday January 1, 2021.”

“Gardaí was called to a residence on Curraheen Drive in Bishopstown shortly after 4 pm, where family members discovered the body of a man in his 40s. He was pronounced dead at the scene shortly thereafter.

“The man’s body will be transferred to the morgue at Cork University Hospital, where a post-mortem examination is expected to take place tomorrow.

“The scene is currently being preserved for examination by local crime scene officers and both the state pathologist’s office and the local coroner have been notified.

“The results of an autopsy will determine the course of the Garda investigation.”
