Man in his 20s dies in custody at Dublin Airport

GSOC is investigating the death.

A MAN IN his 20s has died while in custody at Dublin Airport.

The Garda Síochána Ombudsman’s Commission (GSOC) says that the man died while being held at Terminal 2 in the airport.

The incident was referred to GSOC by the Garda Síochána at about 2.30pm this afternoon.

GSOC says investigators are at the scene and a “full, independent investigation will be carried out to establish the facts of the situation”.

An Garda Siochána say they are not commenting on the matter as it is subject to a GSOC investigation.
