Man, 60s, dead after being found on roadside with 'unexplained injuries'

A man in his 60s has died after being found on a roadside with 'unexplained injuries' in the early hours of this morning.

Gardai say they are "investigating all circumstances" after they received reports of a male with unexplained injuries on the Old Navan Road in Mulhuddart, Dublin 15 at around 2:50am this morning. The man, aged in his early 60s, was rushed to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where he was later pronounced dead.

His body has been taken to Dublin City Mortuary where a post-mortem will be conducted today. The results of this post-mortem will determine the course of the garda investigation.

The scene has been preserved for technical examination. Gardai are appealing for witnesses to come forward to help with their investigation.

A garda spokesman said: "Gardaí are appealing to any person who were in the vicinity of Blanchardstown Road North, the Old Navan Road and Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and surrounding areas between 12am and 3am and observed any activity which drew their attention to come forward.

"Any road users (particularly taxi drivers) or pedestrians who were travelling in these areas at these times who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 666 7000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station."
