Gardai say they are awaiting the results of a post-mortem after a man’s body was found in the toilets of a fast-food restaurant in Letterkenny today.

The man’s body was found by staff of the restaurant this afternoon at around 2.30pm.

He had earlier bought food in the restaurant before using the bathroom facilities.

Staff immediately alerted the emergency service and ambulance personnel spoke to staff as others rushed to the scene.

Medics tried to revive the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Gardai have sealed off the scene and are still continuing their investigation into the possible cause of the man’s death.

Gardai have viewed CCTV footage as part of their investigation as well as interviewing staff about the man’s last known movements.

The man’s remains are expected to be removed to Letterkenny University Hospital where a full post-mortem will be carried out.

A Garda spokesman said that they are awaiting the results of the post-mortem to determine what direction their investigation will take.
