A man who was found badly injured in Dungloe yesterday has died in hospital.
The 67 year old man was found at the bottom of stairs at an apartment block at the rear of a pub after 1am on Monday morning.
It is understood the man may have been alone for more than an hour before being discovered with serious head injuries.
The victim was named locally as Frank Orrell.
Gardai sealed off the area beside the apartment at lower Main Street Dungloe and a full forensic examination was carried out by crimes of scenes officers from Letterkenny.
The victim, who was originally from England but living in Dungloe for a number of years, is understood to have sustained serious injuries.
Gardai are appealing for anyone who was in the Main Street area in the early hours of Monday morning to contact them.
It is still unclear as to how the man suffered his injuries and Gardai say their investigation is ongoing
