Post-mortem to be carried out following death of man at property close to Limerick border

A POST-MORTEM is to be carried this Thursday out on the body of a man discovered at a house close to the Limerick border. 

A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said they will continue to investigate all the circumstances surrounding the discovery on Wednesday at a residence in Ballycrana, Kilross, County Tipperary -  shortly after 4am.

It’s understood the man may have been socialising in the nearby village of Galbally in Limerick and in Tipperary Town, the night before his body was found. 

The body has since been removed from the scene to the mortuary at University Hospital Waterford, while the scene at Ballycrana remains preserved.

The results of a post-mortem examination, which is due to take place this Thursday, will determine the course of the garda investigation.

Councillor Eddie Ryan, of Galbally, said the man did drink locally and would have been known to see in the locality.

“He would usually just have a couple of drinks and come home,” Cllr Ryan told Limerick Live.

According to Cllr Ryan, the man lived just a short distance from the village.

“People, locally, are sad to hear of something like this happening in our midst. People are heartbroken to think somebody has died like that in our area,” he added.

“Gardaí continue to appeal to any person with any information that can assist with this investigation to contact Tipperary Town garda station on 062 80670, the garda confidential line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station,” the garda spokesperson said.
