Body Located In Grounds Of Limerick University Hospital.

The body of man, aged in his 40’s, sadly found deceased late last Thursday night, on the grounds of University Hospital Limerick (UHL), (Latter the medical facility serving North Co. Tipperary), is believed to be that of a man declared missing from the mid-west region.
A member of the staff at the UHL medical facility is understood to have discovered the man’s remains, before alerting the emergency services.

While the body; same located close to a helipad and a staff car park in the hospital grounds on St Nessan’s Road, has, as yet, not been formally identified; Gardaí suspect that the remains are that of a man who had been initially reported missing some weeks previously.

Gardaí are continuing to investigate all of the circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body, which has since been removed from the scene. A post-mortem examination by the office of the Limerick Coroner will now take place; the results of which will determine the course of any future investigation.

Yesterday, Friday September 20th, a large area, which included the staff car park and the adjoining the green area, presumedly where the body was located, remained firmly sealed off, with Gardaí maintaining a close presence at the scene.
