THE ENGLISH man found dead in an Irish town has been named, as the investigation into his suspicious death gets underway.
Gardaí are treating the death of the English man in Skibbereen, west Cork as suspicious pending the outcome of a post-mortem expected to be carried out today.
The body of 51 year old John Ustic was found around 9am yesterday morning by the his partner in the living room area of the house that they were renting on the High Street.
He had a number of injuries but gardaí have not discounted the possibility that he may have fallen and are hoping the post-mortem will establish exactly how he died.
A preliminary examination of the scene revealed no sign of forced entry even though there was some disarray in the house.
Mr Ustic has been living in West Cork for many years, but has only been living in the rented, two-storey, terraced house with his partner for a number of months.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said: "The scene has been preserved for technical examination and the state pathologist has been notified.
"The post-mortem will determine the direction of the investigation."
