GARDAÍ say they are not treating as suspicious the death of a Lithuanian man, whose body was found at his home in Ennis on Saturday afternoon.
The 37-year-old man’s body was discovered by his landlord at around 2 o’clock.
He was fully clothed and was found slumped at the end of the bed at the house he rented at Linnane’s Terrace, on the Kilrush Road.
He had lived there alone.
A post-mortem examination was carried out on the body at the Mid Western Regional Hospital, Limerick yesterday. While the results would not be finalised for some time, Ennis Superintendent John Kerin said detectives had concluded that there were no grounds to suggest foul play.
“We do not believe this was suspicious. He may have been there for two or three days.”
Gardaí are satisfied they have positively identified the man.
They are liaising with the Lithuanian Embassy and Interpol, in an effort to get in contact with his family.
He had arrived in Ireland from the US and worked in a hotel in Ennis for a short period last year.
