An investigation is underway after an Irishman was found dead in Argentina from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.

The man, named locally as Christopher Morris (30), was found dead along with his flatmate at an apartment in the Mendoza region on Monday.

Christopher is the son of well-known horse trainer, Michael "Mouse" Morris.

Local police have launched an investigation, but foul play is not suspected.

Their deaths are being treated as accidental.

The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is aware of the case, and is providing consular assistance to his family.
