Gardaí are investigating following the discovery of a body of a man in his late teens in “unexplained circumstances” in Meath on Friday (27 August).

At around 8:30am, Gardaí attended the scene after the body was found at a residence on the Trim Road in Enfield.

In a statement, a Garda spokesperson said the body of the man has been removed to the Mortuary at Our Lady’s Hospital in Navan.

There, a post mortem will be conducted at a later date by the State Pathologist who attended the scene earlier on Friday, which is currently preserved for technical examination.

Gardaí have said no arrests have been made at this time.

“Gardaí are appealing for any person that was travelling on the Trim Road at Enfield between the hours of 8pm on Thursday, 26 August, 2021, and 7am on Friday, 27 August, 2021, who observed any unusual activity, to make contact with them,” the Garda spokesperson said.

“Gardaí are also appealing to any road users that were travelling in the area during these times and who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) to make this footage available to Gardaí.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Trim Garda Station on 046 9481540, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
