Gardaí have appealed to the public for information.

An investigation has been launched into the death of a man in “unexplained circumstances” in Dublin on Saturday (22 October).

At approximately 2.50am, Gardaí received reports of a male with unexplained injuries on the Old Navan Road in Mulhuddart, Dublin 15.

The man in his early 60s was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown where he was later pronounced dead.

His body has since been transferred to Dublin City Mortuary where a post-mortem will be conducted on Saturday.

A Garda spokesperson said the results of the post-mortem will determine the course of the Garda investigation.

They also stated that “all the circumstances” surrounding the death are being investigated.

Gardaí are appealing to any person who was in the vicinity of Blanchardstown Road North, the Old Navan Road, 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 and may have camera footage, including dashcam footage, are asked to make this footage available to An Garda Síochána.

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.
