Gardaí are investigating all the circumstances of a fatal incident that occurred on the evening of Sunday 28th July 2024 in Co. Cork.
Shortly before 10pm, Gardaí received a report where concerns for the safety of a male in a residence in Waterfall were raised.
A cordon was established and An Garda Síochána initiated its Operational Command protocol. An On-Scene Commander was appointed and local Garda negotiators attached to the National Negotiators Unit attended the scene with assistance from a number of other Garda Units.
A male was later discovered deceased in the residence.
As this matter has been referred to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) under Section 102 of the Garda Síochána Ac 2005, An Garda Síochána has no further comment to provide.
