Gardaí have launched an investigation after a man's body was found on a golf course in Co Cork.
The body of the man, who was in his 20s, was found on the course of Macroom Golf Course, just outside the town, at around 9.30am this morning. His body remains at the scene, which was preserved for an examination to take place.
Gardaí have also said that a post mortem examination will determine the course of this investigation.
News of this comes after a man and woman had died following a house fire in Cork earlier this week. It broke out at a detached house in Raheen, near Crossbarry and Innishannon, southwest Cork City.
Speaking about this, Alan Coleman, an Independent councillor, who is based in Innishannon, said that the whole community have been left "really shocked" by this news.
"It's very sad and very tragic, the people, the area are really shocked to hear this news this morning when it broke", he said. "People in the parish are gathering around in groups. They just can’t believe such a thing could happen in our own parish here.
"There’s a lot of the family living in the area here. And they’re very involved in every activity in the local area. So there’s a lot of people impacted by this", he added.
