An investigation has been launched by Gardaí after the body of a man was found in Donegal.

The discovery was made in the village of Ramelton earlier today.

The man, believed to be aged in his mid 20s, was found at a house in Swilly Park.

Gardaí have said all circumstances are being investigated and the coroner has been notified.

A post mortem will take place at a later date which will determine the course of the investigation.
