Gardai investigating the death of a man in Dalkey say they're "keeping an open mind".
His remains were discovered at around 8.30 this morning in a lane way that leads to an Apartment block just off Convent Road.
Officers say the results of tests on the body will determine the direction of their investigation, and the office of the State Pathologist has been notified.
