Michael Rice (34) is believed to have tripped and fallen through a glass porch door shortly after arriving at a friend’s house in the Church View estate in Ballindangan Co Cork shortly after 5am.
It is understood the victim was out socialising with friends on the night.
Gardaí are describing the death as a ‘tragic accident’.

“This is a terrible tragedy and the whole community has been sent into shock,” he said.
“I’d like to send my sympathies to the Rice family at this very difficult time.”
