Detectives can be contacted at Newry CID by calling 101. If someone would prefer to provide information without leaving their name they can contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.”

Was just reading this news article and wondering if there been a follow up on this and the cause of death been confirmed yet? Very sad to have died alone with maybe having no family here.
