GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING THE discovery of the body of a young man in Dublin have issued an appeal for witnesses to come forward.
Gardaí were called to an incident at a flat on South Circular Road close to the junction with Bloomfield Avenue, Dublin 8 at around 3.45pm this afternoon.
A man (20s) was discovered with injuries on the roadway close to the scene and removed to St James’ Hospital. He remains there this evening with non-life-threatening injuries.
When gardaí examined the inside of the flat they discovered the body of a man believed to be in his 20s.
The man is an Irish national. His body was taken to the City Morgue where a post-mortem examination will be carried out tomorrow.
Gardaí are now seeking a third man who was seen leaving the flat at about 3.20pm this afternoon.
The man is aged in his 20s and is described as:
The scene of the incident has been sealed off for a technical examination and the office of the State Pathologist has been informed.
Anyone who was in the South Circular Road/Bloomfield Avenue this afternoon between 3pm and 4pm or who has any information about the incident is asked to contact Kevin Street Garda Station on 01 666 9482.

A man is found dead, and all the stupid statements put up, would people be so smart, it’s their brother, father.
Any story about the Gardai’s organised campaign against Garda whistle-blowers as discussed in the Dail?
Very close to where I live :/
I heard the main suspect is a grey cat with trippy sunglasses
@Mark Kenny: Oh shitt
The West Side is really lawless. We need to place more Gardaí in this area west of the City.
Sad times & condolences to the deceased.
Out of interest could the Journal clarify seeing as they are so set on convincing us all that Ibrahim Halawa is ‘Irish’ was the above victim ‘Irish’ ‘Irish national’ ‘Irish citizen’ or a Dub?
Earlier reports seemed set on saying he was a foreign national & then it was updated to Irish citizen. Personally I don’t see what difference it makes, he was human & someone’s son but the Journal likes us all to know what’s what so can we have a fat check please.
Sounds suspicious.
Really? Good intuition there, Kojak.
Oh and just one more thing…
That’s Columbo…
first you found him on the pathway then in the house it sounds supiscious alright
Sounds painful, “with injuries on the roadway.” How do you treat that? Was he suffering from potholes as well?
Shocking one Man was found stabbed on one side of the road with non life threatening injuries and the other one was found in a flat on the other side
Dizziness is the biggest problem on South Circular Road.
His boy was taken to the city morgue ??
have your say
