A post mortem is to be carried out to determine the cause of death.

He has named by police as John Trolan.

"We are keen to trace John’s movements in the hours before he was found unconscious in his home.

"We know that he was seen at around 10.30am on Wednesday June 7th. At this time he was well and uninjured.
