Tallaght
Man aged in his 50s dies of suspected drug overdose
The Ana-Liffey Drug Project says it sees a rise in overdoses at this time of the year.
GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING the death of a man in Tallaght on Sunday.
The man, aged in his 50s, was discovered in the morning.
It’s believed he died as a result of a drug overdose.
Director of the Ana Liffey Drug Project, Tony Duffin, said, “Overdose is a constant presence – on average, about one person per day dies of overdose in Ireland – and Christmas and New Year are, understandably, an emotional time for many of our clients.
“We typically see an increase in both fatal and non-fatal overdoses during this period.”
Gardaí say they are not treating the death as suspicious.
