A POST MORTEM examination on the body of a 24-year-old man discovered in Waterford in the early hours of this morning has indicated that there was no foul play involved in his death.

Gardaí said the autopsy was completed earlier today at Waterford Regional Hospital by State Pathologist Dr Marie Cassidy.

The man’s body was found at a house in St Herblain Park at Kilcohan at about 1am. The scene was also preserved for technical examination.

A second body was found in Waterford today – that of a woman in her 20s – but Gardaí have confirmed that the two incidents are not connected. Detectives await results from a post mortem in that case.
