GARDAÍ investigates after a middle-aged man was discovered dead in a Cork home on New Year’s Day.
The man, who is in his 40s, was discovered on a property in Curraheen, outside Bishopstown in Cork City.
The grim discovery came after a family member took great care about the man’s well-being.
It is understood that the man had not been seen in the area for several days.
Repeated attempts by family and friends to contact him by mobile phone had failed.
A source said the man may have been on the property for several days before being discovered.
When the alarm was raised, Gardai and paramedics rushed to Curraheen’s home.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the remains are scheduled to be transferred to Cork University Hospital (CUH) for a full post-mortem examination.
Gardaí sealed off the area pending a full technical examination by forensic experts.
A Garda source emphasized that the nature of his investigation will be determined by the results of the autopsy.
Until then, gardaí will keep an open mind about it.
The post-mortem exam will be held at CUH on Saturday.
Toxicology testing is also expected to be critical to garda research.
Gardaí is now trying to trace the last known movements of the deceased and has asked anyone with information to contact the Bishopstown Garda station.
Door-to-door investigations will also be conducted in the Curraheen area to determine the last sighting of the deceased during the Christmas period.
