Investigation under way after body found in Cork house
Gardaí have started an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of a 58-year-old man whose body was found in a rented house in Cork on Tuesday afternoon. The man's body was found by Gardaí in a house at Lower Barrack View near the North Cathedral around 4pm after they were contacted by a man in the area. It is understood the man had gone down the cul-de-sac behind the cathedral and, looking in a window of the terraced house, saw what he believed was a body in a room. Gardaí subsequently gained access to the house before immediately cordoning off the scene and requesting the services of Garda scenes-of-crime examiners, who preserved the scene. READ MORE Gardaí also requested the services of the State Pathologist's Office. The man's body is due to removed to Cork University Hospital for a postmortem on Wednesday. Officers began door-to-door inquiries and have established that the man – who was renting the property – had not been seen by his neighbours for a number of days. Garda sources said there was no sign of forced entry to the property but they were keeping an open mind as to the cause of the man's death pending the postmortem. They say they are hopeful the postmortem will establish what happened to the deceased man and give an approximate time of death.

Tributes paid to 'pure gentleman' found dead in Tipperary home
Tributes have been paid to a man who was found dead in his home in Co Tipperary. The body of Ian Walsh, 49, was discovered at his home on Creggs Road in Carrick-on-Suir, Co Tipperary at around 3.30am on Monday (August 4). Gardaí are treating his death as suspicious and believe he may have died a few days prior. While a post-mortem examination will determine the course of Gardaí's investigation into Mr Walsh's death, tributes have begun pouring in for him following his death, with him being remembered by his colleagues at Irish Rail and railway enthusiasts as someone who 'went far beyond the extra mile.' Tributes have been paid to Ian Walsh, who was found dead in his home in Co Tipperary. Pic: Facebook Táilte Tours, who knew Mr Walsh as a signaller at the Cork railway station who was a 'huge supporter' of their operation, said 'Ian ran five railtours of his own over the course of the mid to late 2000s, and was very much a pioneer in 'outside the box' tours in Ireland, starting them from locations such as Waterford and Limerick, in an era when tours were generally based in Dublin or Belfast. 'He was more than happy to pass his experience and expertise on when we started operations a few years ago; for those of you who enjoyed the 'surprise' rare track moves on our Cork-based railtours, you can thank Ian, who went far beyond the extra mile to ensure our operations went off without a hitch. 'He had a wonderful knowledge of the Iarnród Éireann system and its people, and had also developed a passion for Bus Éireann operations, diligently recording the last runs on several rural routes in the south east as they disappeared, quickly becoming a friend to bus drivers in the Cork and Waterford areas.' Mr Walsh was found dead at his home in Carrick on Suir on Monday morning, with Gardaí believing that he may have died over the Bank Holiday weekend. Pic: Facebook Following the passing of Mr Walsh, Iarnród Éireann also paid tribute to him, saying that they were shocked at the death of their 'well known and popular' colleague. Another person wrote; 'A good friend from day one, there will never be another railwayman like Ian. Rip Squinty [Mr Walsh's nickname].' 'I got to know Ian from taking photos an uploading to facebook Morden Bus Eireann page,' another wrote. 'He was a pure Gentleman. You'll be missed.' Gardaí have appealed for anyone who was in the area of Cregg Road, Carrick-on-Suir over the Bank Holiday weekend, from Friday (August 1) at 8pm and Bank Holiday Monday (August 4) at 3.30am to contact them. Gardaí in Tipperary are appealing for anyone with any information, and who may have been on the Cregg Road area between Friday at 8pm and Monday at 3.30am to contact them. Pic: ABD/Shutterstock Additionally, anyone who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) and was traveling in the area at the time is asked to make it available to Gardaí. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Clonmel Garda Station on (052) 617 7640, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
