A Quilty man has died in hospital following injuries sustained in an accident at his home in Caherush.
Michael Mungovan, a bachelor believed to be in his early 70s, sustained head injuries after he apparently fell from a ladder while working at his home.
He was discovered by a neighbour who raised the alarm and contacted the emergency services.
The injured man was removed to hospital where he later passed away.
A post mortem will be carried out and a report presented to the County Corner’s Office.
