Gardaí have launched an investigation after the bodies of two men were found in a canal in Dublin this morning.
Shortly after 8am, Gardaí and emergency services responded to reports of a body in the canal at Grand Parade.
The bodies of two males, aged in their 40s, were recovered from the canal a short time later. Both were pronounced deceased at the scene.
The scene is preserved, and a Garda cordon is in place. The Office of the State Pathologist and the local Coroner have been notified.
The results of post-mortem examinations and local enquiries will determine the course of Garda investigations.
Gardaí have identified both individuals, but the formal identification process is still ongoing.
No additional information is available at this time and investigations are ongoing.
